All proceeds benefit the Baden K-9 Kares Foundation. The foundation’s mission is clear and powerful; to create a brighter future for military veterans, first responders, and children with special needs by pairing them with loyal canine companions. Each dog provided helps preserve life and foster greater independence through steadfast friendship.
Golf scramble and on-course contests
The day begins with an 18-team golf scramble. Every player receives a gift/swag bag sponsored by Stockmeier Urethanes. Teams will compete for prizes in first through third place.
Contests include a hole-in-one challenge on Hole 12 with a chance to win a new truck, sponsored by Shaffer GMC, plus prizes on every Par 3 hole. Golfers can also enter the Longest Drive Contest featuring Trackman video provided by Almost Golf WV and the Closest to the Pin Contest.
