Greencastle Fire Department to hold annual golf outing

It's almost time to dust off the clubs, get the foursome together and hit the links for the 23rd annual Greencastle Fire Department golf scramble.

This year's event, which is presented by the Greencastle Professional Firefighters Local 5125, is slated for June 17 at Tiger Pointe Golf Club in Greencastle.

The proceeds from the tournament will go to benefit the Hoosier Burn Camp. 

"They hold camps for burn survivors from infancy to young adulthood to help them build self esteem and realize their potential as they overcome the pain and trauma associated with severe burn injuries. It's a place where they can go and be just one of the kids. Through donations and volunteers, there is no cost to kids or families for them to attend the camp," Greencastle Fire Department assistant chief Rob Frank told The Putnam County Post. 

Frank said former Greencastle chief Bill Newgent was on the Hoosier Burn Camp's board and the department has supported the camp for over two decades. 

The entry fee is $200 per foursome and hole sponsorships are available for $100 per hole. Also banner sponsorships are $250. 

The team that walks away with first place honors will collect $600, and there is a $400 prize for second place. 

Anyone wishing to register or gain more information can call the Greencastle Fire Department at 765-653-3108.
