Simply purchase a $15 golf ball online before July 18th to participate. On the day of an event, the golf balls will be dropped from a helicopter over a target at the Hillcrest Country Club. The three closest, as well as the farthest, golf balls to the target will win cash prizes. Closet to the target wins $2,000, while the second closest wins $500. The participants who purchase both the third closest ball and the farthest ball from the target will walk away with $250 each. Participants do not need to be present to win.
“The CREF team looks forward to gathering industry members at our annual golf fundraiser to raise additional support for collision school programs that are face limiting program budgets,” CREF Managing Director Brandon Eckenrode says. “This event is our largest yearly fundraiser, and we hope you’ll join us ‘fore’ this important cause.”
