Officers of the Johnson City Police Department will host the 4th Annual Area 3 Special Olympics Benefit Golf Tournament at 8 a.m. on Saturday, July 27. Teams from across the region will gather at Elizabethton Golf Course to play in the select-shot tournament.

Community members may register individually or as a team. Cost is $50 per player or $200 per team. Prizes will be awarded for the first-, second-, and third-place teams in two flights as well as for the closest to the pin on all par-3 holes. Long drive contests (women, men and seniors) will also be held. Door prizes will be given away.

Local businesses may sponsor individual holes for $50 each. Sponsorship includes a yard sign at the sponsored hole.

All funds raised will stay in Tennessee’s Area 3 to support Special Olympics athletes in Washington, Carter, Unicoi and Johnson counties.
