The Mahoning County Juvenile Court Advisory Board will sponsor its Golf Classic Tournament Sept. 9 at the Kennsington Golf Course.

The tournament will feature a scramble format beginning at 9 a.m. and will provide 18 holes of golf with cart, breakfast, lunch, complimentary beverages, a souvenir golf package and a tournament awards banquet featuring the Outback Steakhouse.

The major corporate sponsors for the event include The DeBartolo Corporation, Harrington, Hoppe and Mitchell, LTD., Bob and Chuck Eddy Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep and the Outback Steakhouse.

Special events for the event will include a skill hole contest, skins, longest putt and drive and a hole-in-one contest, featuring a car provided by Bob and Chuck Eddy. Prizes will be awarded for first place team, second place team and third place team.

The Mahoning County Juvenile Court Advisory Board, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization, consists of community members who advise the court on community concerns as well as maintain the policies and mandates of the Mahoning County Juvenile Court. All proceeds from the tournament will benefit the Juvenile Court’s programs.

The proceeds will assist in continuing to provide needed services to youth and families in the community. Judge Theresa Dellick’s programs have been recognized both nationally and statewide for their effectiveness.

In addition, the board intends to award scholarships to graduates of the Mahoning County High School, a school which has provided second chances to many students.

The golf classic has various levels of participation and sponsorship, beginning with Gold golf team sponsors, Silver golf team sponsors and Bronze Hole sponsors. Individuals and businesses can place an advertisement in the golf brochure.

Single golf registrants are welcome. Registration for golf is limited to the first 144 paid registered golfers. The deadline for the tournament is Aug. 19.
