The department’s 13th annual golf tournament will be held Tuesday, Oct. 4, at Cowan’s Ford Country Club with all proceeds donated to the state Special Olympics organization.

Registration is now under way for the event. There are multiple levels of sponsorship opportunities, from $100 a hole support up to the $1,000 major sponsor category.

There will be an assortment of on-the-course prizes, including two hole-in-one chances at new vehicles courtesy of Huntersville Ford and Victory Chevrolet, as well as a putting contest and other events on the day of the tournament, which will begin with registration at 8 a.m. followed by a shotgun start at 10 a.m.
