Have you heard about the upcoming 2023 Merrill Lynch / Rite Care Golf Tournament for the North Carolina Scottish Rite Masonic Foundation? The Scottish Rite of NC will be holding their annual “All Valley” golf tournament on Sunday, September 17, 2023.
Prior to the golf tournament, there will be a church service at 11 AM featuring US Olympic, NBA and UNC star, Phil Ford as our guest speaker.
After the Church Service, there will be a lunch in the cafeteria at MHCO. We are committed to feeding all the Children and Staff of the home but want to ask for your help covering the cost. We are offering tickets to the lunch for $20 for any non-golfer that wishes to join us and hear Phil Ford speak.
Any money that is raised that exceeds the cost of the lunch will go to the MHCO to help them continue to provide for the children that need our help.
