The tournament is Friday at Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club, in Palm City.
Golfers will receive 18 holes of golf at a private club, use of a golf cart, lunch and dinner, event polo shirt, golf towel and a sleeve of golf balls. Awards, raffles, silent auction and a putting contest also will be offered. The event is $125 per golfer, or $450 per foursome. Registration will begin at noon, and the tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. United for Families hopes to attract 100 golfers, and is particularly interested in promoting corporate teams. United for Families is the not-for-profit agency that is responsible for every known abused and neglected child in St. Lucie, Martin, Indian River and Okeechobee counties. Proceeds from the golf tournament will help fund the Road to Success program, which teaches independent living life skills to teenagers in the foster care system. The program, which helps prevent homelessness, unwanted and unplanned pregnancy, and social isolation, by preparing students for adulthood, boosting their self-esteem, and encouraging further education, is the focus of United for Families outreach efforts.
