Formed in 2013, the BCC Charitable Foundation has raised over $300,000, and their efforts continue. What started with an annual golf tournament continues to grow and expand, adding ways to donate.
The annual NRV Golf tournament is scheduled for Monday, September 25, along with an exciting new addition – a helicopter ball drop raffle. 2023 is the largest tournament to date, with 40 teams participating.
No matter if you are participating in the golf tournament or not, you can purchase a golf ball for $100. The golf balls will be dropped from a helicopter on tournament day at noon. Cash prizes will be awarded based on the location nearest/farthest to the hole. Click here for more details. Entries can be paid in person or via PayPal.
