On Monday, October 14, Gwinnett County Public Schools’ Community-Based Mentoring Program will host its 13th Annual Golf Tournament at Chateau Elan, located at 6060 Golf Club Drive, in Braselton, Ga. Registration—which includes breakfast, entry in both the Hole In One Contest and the Longest Drive Contest, and the awards luncheon—is $150 per person and $600 per foursome. All proceeds from the event will fund additional scholarship opportunities, college and career exploration, internships, and discounted enrichment activities for students.

     “We are excited to bring back the 13th annual golf tournament and hope to exceed our previous record number of golfers of 116 in 2022. This event allows us to continue to build community, connection, and belonging one relationship at a time,” says GCPS Director of Community-Based Mentoring James Rayford. “This is also a great opportunity to recruit new mentors and supporters of the program,” he adds. Tournament registration is available online through September 30.

     Participants are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather as the event will be held rain or shine unless conditions are dangerous. The tournament has a dress code that requires collared shirts. Golfers who are interested should register by Monday, September 30, 2024.
