Here in beautiful Mount Airy, it is prime time to head out outside and soak up the sun, and it’s no exception at Mount Airy Toyota; you can find us packing up and out onto the golf courses, all to give back to our local community partners.

Mount AiryToyota is pleased to announce our participation in the Lions Quest 32^nd annual golf tournament fundraiser event this June.

Giving back to the community is what it’s all about, and we just love getting out there and having some fun while we’re at it.

The 32^nd Annual Lions Quest Golf Tournament

Mount AiryToyota could not be more excited to share some news on their participation in the 32^nd Lions Quest Golf Tournament in Mount Airy, NC.

Where did the proceeds go, and/or what organizations did they benefit?

Lions Quest is a national organization that dates back to 1975, where the founder, Rick Little, set out on a mission to help young people develop the skillset and strength of character needed to succeed as an adult. Upon the success of the program after its implementation with high school students, Lions Quest began to initiate programs at middle and elementary schools to provide age-appropriate, positive youth development programs.

Since 2002, Lions Quest has become an international organization that has awarded more than 360 grants (totaling more than $20 million!).

The Lions who serve Lion Quest are the key to supporting the program through local funding, coordinating teacher training, co-hosting parent meetings, reaching out and speaking to youth, and undertaking joint service projects with students. The dedication and commitment to the service of its members has resulted in the world’s largest service organization with 1.35 million members in 208 countries.

The direct impact of the 32^nd Annual Lions Quest golf tournament had all proceeds go towards benefiting drug abuse prevention programs such as the DARE Program in our Mount Airy schools, the Children’s Center of Surry, Inc., and other community needs.

Where did it take place?

The tournament was held on Wednesday, June 5^th at the Cross Creek Country club in Mt. Airy, NC. The day began with a shotgun start at 9:00am. In the chance of rain, the tournament was to be scheduled Wednesday, June 26^th at the same start time.

Entry fees were only $75.00 per player, and this fee included green fees and cart, goody bags, refreshments, lunch, and drawings for prizes. At the end of the round, lunch was served to all participants. It was during this time that there were drawings held for prizes, goody bag giveaways, and a refreshment cart making rounds.

What were the awards?

The 1^st place award was $600 per team. The 2^nd place award was $400 per team. Teams that tied were played off by the scorecard. Golf Pro designated which hole to start the playoff in the case of a tie.

To be eligible for Grand Prizes on Par 3 Holes, all golfers had to hit from the White Tees (including seniors and ladies). The first Hole-N-One on each Par 3 was recognized as the only winner for that hole.

The Captain’s Choice was 4 player teams and 18 holes.

What were the tees played?

The tees were as followed:

•  Men – White Tees
• Women – Red Tees
• Seniors (65-74) – Gold Tees
• Super Seniors (75+) – Red Tees
