Golf scramble to benefit local law enforcement

The Chief Greg Adams Inaugural Memorial Golf Scramble, which aims to benefit local law enforcement, will take place at noon on June 23 at Saxon Golf Course in Sarver.

Friends of the Saxonburg Police and COPS-1 (Community One Public Safety Training Initiative) are the Butler County groups who are collaborating to bring the fundraising event to the public because of their common missions and dedicated commitment to the needs of local law enforcement officers.

Food and games within the event will take place such as a $10,000 hole-in-one shot, longest putt, closest to the pin shot and a silent auction.

Golfers and sponsors can register at cops-1.org/events.
