United Way Campaign Kick-Off slated Aug. 20-21
Howard County, it's time to Rock-N-Roll with the United Way of Big Spring and Howard County. The annual kickoff event date is set for Aug. 20 and 21. The golf balls will start rolling on Aug. 20 and continue through Aug. 21. The rockin' will take place on Aug. 20 at 7 p.m. as William Clark Green takes the stage at the Howard County Fair Barn.
"We are excited to be hosting William Clark Green for our annual kick off. Kick off weekend is going to be packed with something for everyone, whether you are a golfer or just enjoy some good ol' country music," Christian Fair, Executive Director at the United Way of Big Spring and Howard County, said.
The golf tournament is set up as a four-man scramble with an entry fee of $400 per team. The tournament will be taking place at the Comanche Trail Golf Course. There will be an opportunity to take home some cash money and runner up prizes.
"This year we are giving out a 75/25 payout and are hoping to draw more teams in," Fair said. "The golf tournament is a great way for local businesses, families, friends and even our local youth to get involved with the cause."
Sponsorships are available for the golf tournament and teams are still able to sign up for play. There is an opportunity to sponsor a team for those who would like to contribute and are not wanting to get out on the golf course.
This year's benefit concert will be opened by Spur 327 and feature Texas Country artist William Clark Green, who is most well known for songs such as "Still Think About You", "Stay" and "Next Big Thing".
"Being able to feature an artist like William Clark Green is a big deal for the United Way, for Big Spring really. We were lucky to get the right pieces in place and dates lined up for this to happen," Fair said. "Benefits, fundraisers and other types of support concerts are one of the things that he enjoys doing to give back and we are blessed to have him agree to add our event to his list this year."
