Benefit Tournament for Three Granite State Non-Profits
Concord, NH (May 26, 2021) – The beautiful Owl’s Nest Resort and Golf Club in Thornton will be the site of a fundraising golf tournament on Monday, August 16th. It’s a combined effort benefitting the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police, the New Hampshire Police, Fire and EMS Foundation and Special Olympics New Hampshire.
The presenting sponsor for the event is Merchants Auto Commercial Sales. SONH Vice President of Development Carol Cray notes that “The Merchants Auto Group has been a partner with Special Olympics New Hampshire for nearly 20 years.” In addition to sponsoring various SONH events over the years, Merchants has provided tickets to Merchants-sponsored events for use by SONH athletes and volunteers. Cray continued “We are thrilled to see the Merchants Auto Commercial Sales division sponsor this major fundraiser.”
“We believe that everyone deserves the gift of friendship, belonging, and inclusion—on the playing field and in life,” says Brendan P. Keegan, CEO of Merchants Fleet. “Merchants is proud to continue our support for the important work being done by SONH, and we look forward to celebrating the many successes of all the SONH athletes and their families again this year.”
Hooksett Police Chief Janet Bouchard is a vice-president with the NH Association of Chiefs of Police and said “Members of the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police are excited to partner with Special Olympics New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Police Fire and EMS Foundation to host their annual Golf Tournament. We are grateful to our presenting sponsor, Merchants Auto Commercial Sales, as well as all of our other committing sponsors.”
The event is an 18-hole four-person scramble with an 8:30am shotgun start. The registration price includes greens fees, golf cart, post-tournament lunch and more. Players can also purchase mulligans, raffle tickets and more on the day of the event. Registration is open now here. Registration fee is $150 per person with a $25 discount if golfers register by June 7th.
