SouthWood event benefits Refuge House

Annual golf tournament benefits battered women, children and sexual assault survivors.

Tallahassee, Fla. – SouthWood Golf Club will host the Sixth Annual Sheriff Larry Campbell Refuge House Golf Tournament Oct. 3.

Admission for the four-person, best-ball tournament is limited to the first 36 teams to enter, and the deadline for registration is Sept. 28. The entry fee is $125 per player or $500 per team and includes cart and green fees, prize fund, awards ceremony and raffle. All proceeds will benefit Refuge House.

Participants will aim at a hole-in-one prize of a new Harley-Davidson motorcycle, courtesy of Capital City Harley-Davidson. Other prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third-place teams, and for the longest drive, longest putt, and closest to the pin.

The mission of Refuge House is to provide direct services to battered women, their children and sexual assault survivors, as well as to work to eliminate the conditions in society that allow such violence to continue. Shelter can be provided for as many as 50 women and children for up to 35 days. The shelter recently opened a transitional housing wing that can house four families for up to two years.

“We are proud to be associated with Refuge House and its integral mission,” says Beth Murphy, SouthWood’s general manager. “We encourage local golfers to sign up and help support this important local cause.”
