Northampton Area Konkrete Kids Educational Foundation’s annual golf tournament is held each June and is a principal fundraiser for the foundation.
In June 2023, the group hosted 170 golfers at Woodstone Country Club and Lodge and raised more than $20,000 through the efforts of the golfers and sponsors. This year’s tournament will be held June 17, also at Woodstone. The foundation is grateful to Woodstone and Bruce Lack, who will again be the title sponsor for the event.
The tournament provides its participants with plenty of contests and prizes, in addition to golf. There will be contests for the straightest drive, closest to the pin on four different holes, “pot of gold” and hole in one ($10,000 prize). A raffle will also be held, and each player will receive a golf hat - this year’s tee gift.
The best ball tournament will be divided into three flights after scores are tallied. The first-, second- and third-place finishers in each flight will receive a valuable prize. The first-, second- and third-place winners will receive $125 gift card to Woodstone, one dozen premium golf balls and a custom belt, respectively.
Coffee and doughnuts will be available for the morning golfers, and hamburgers and hot dogs will be available starting 10 a.m.
Woodstone will provide a barbecue pit with a variety of food available, beginning 11 a.m., during the tournament. The foundation will also provide complimentary beer and water throughout the day.
The tournament could not take place without the help of dedicated volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering for this year’s event, email golfinfo@konkretefoundation.org.
If interesting in participating in the tournament, register as soon as possible on NASD’s website.
