Golf tournament to benefit school
By Greg Strannigan

The first-ever Sonrise Christian School Golf Tournament will take place Saturday, October 12 at the Glaze Meadow course at Black Butte Ranch.

Sonrise is a private Christian school that has grown substantially over the past several years in Sisters. Funds raised will help keep tuition with in reach for families.

"We have good public schools in Sisters, but if parents want a Christian alternative, we are here to provide a quality choice," Principal Dan Cole said.

"We make every effort to keep tuition affordable, and we have a strong conviction that a family's finances should not stand in the way of a Christian education. So for those who need financial assistance, we have established the Sonrise Christian School Scholarship fund."

The proceeds from the golf tournament will go toward the scholarship fund.

Check-in for the tournament begins at 8:30 a.m. with a Continental breakfast. The driving range and putting green will be open so golfers can get loose. The Shotgun Start is scheduled for 10 a.m. The Best Ball Scramble will conclude with a meal celebration, an awards ceremony, and a raffle at 2:30 p.m.

"It's not too late to sign up, play some golf, and support a good cause," Cole said.

Individual golf fee is $100; hole sponsorship is $250. For more information, contact Sonrise Christian School at 549-4133 or Carla Schneider at 549-9601.
