NPMC hosts annual golf tournament
National Park Medical Center will present the 35th Annual Christmas Scramble Golf Tournament, benefiting the Kamo’s Kids Foundation, Dec. 7 at Hot Springs Country Club.
Registration, sponsored by Arvest, will begin at 8:30 a.m., and a shotgun start will be at 10:30 a.m.
The foundation was established in February 2009 in memory of Kameron “Kamo” Hale, and is guided by three main principles which represented Kamo’s outlook on life — “Kourage” to do what is right, “Kommitment” to excellence and “Kompassion” for others, a news release said.
The foundation works with area organizations, school officials, the juvenile
court system and individuals to help underserved children. All donations provided to Kamo’s Kids are directed toward the nonprofit’s mission, and the foundation is supported through the collaborative efforts of volunteer directors. The foundation does not allocate funds for administrative purposes, ensuring that every cent received is placed to work helping children in need, the release said.
In addition to serving day-to-day needs of underserved children in all of the Garland County school districts, the foundation also provides college scholarships, underwrites the annual Fields of Faith ministry project and works with the Garland County Juvenile Court System to provide incentives for kids to complete the program.
The tournament will include a player gift sponsored by Citizens Bank, breakfast sponsored by Ouachita Regional Anesthesia, a warming tent sponsored by Diamond Bank, a silent auction, on-course lunch sponsored by Connex Rehab, door prizes, beverages by Arkansas Beverage Sales, and prizes by All American Classics for the first, second and third place teams in both flights. The tournament will also include several contests, including Longest Drive by HealthStar Physicians, Hit the Green and Closest to the Hole by Razorback Camper Sales.
Additional sponsors include Bank OZK, Bruce Gaston, DDS, Gigerich Electrical Inc, First Security Bank, Posey Printing, Hot Springs Radiology, AWI Supply, Survival Flight, Hot Springs Title Company, Drs. Greg Ramer and Neill Clem, Down Home Meats, Relyance Bank, Aspire Wealth Builders, Royal Windows and Seiz Signs.
