Support Southern Indiana Make-A-Wish Kids at Annual Golf Scramble

There is not much better in this world than spending a beautiful, sunny day on the golf course. That day is made even better when you get to take off work to play golf and - this is the most important part - when you're playing golf to raise money for a great cause. I'm about to check all three of those boxes for you - so keep reading if that sounds interesting.

Swinging for Wishes

Southern Indiana Make-A-Wish invites you to its 14th annual golf scramble fundraiser on June 19th. Can you think of a better way to spend a Monday? This year's event feels more important than ever as there are 63 local children that are still waiting for their wishes. You can help the cause by playing golf, by bidding on silent auction items, or both.
