Lorie Johnson Golf Tournament coming soon

The Fifth-Annual Lorie Johnson Foundation Memorial Golf Tournament will be held Monday, May 20 at Riverchase Country Club. 

The foundation, created in honor of a Chelsea woman who later passed away from breast cancer at age 34, provides financial assistance to low-income women and girls with cancer of any kind; many of the women they help have breast cancer. 

 “We help low income individuals with cancer with their rent, utilities, groceries, copayment, treatment and travel,” Foundation board member Steve Bishop said

Registration is at 10 a.m. The driving range opens at 10 a.m. and lunch is at 11 a.m. Shotgun start at noon. Participants who beat the pro on a Par-3 win cash prizes and a hole in one wins $5,000. There is a $125 registration fee for individual players and a $500 registration fee for a four-man team. Registration includes range balls, golf cart and a barbecue buffet lunch.
