It is that time of year again! We are honoring our dear friend Denny Corley by hosting another great golf outing with proceeds benefiting his two favorite charities, The Special Olympics and The BackStoppers. This event is open to the public but will be limited to 26 teams. The PDF is a printable flyer you may share with anyone.
Please send your registration to the address on the form or email me with any questions.
We will also kick off the 2020 Gun Raffle at the tournament. We sincerely appreciate your continued support!
The race will start and finish at the Collinsville Police Department and go through downtown Collinsville. There will be three ‘Donut Stops’ along the route where participants will have the opportunity to consume a donut. One donut may be consumed at each station for a 1 minute overall time deduction. Eating donuts is not required, but encouraged. This race will test your running speed and ability to eat donuts. Proceeds benefit Special Olympics Illinois.
Packet Pick-Up and Registration at Collinsville Police Department starts at 6:00AM on race day!
