Arvest Charity Golf Tournament to Support Four Nonprofits

Arvest Bank is pleased to announce that four regional nonprofits were selected as beneficiaries of the 28 th Annual Charity Golf Tournament, set to take place August 24 at Big Creek Golf Course in Mountain Home. Each year, Arvest associates choose a local “Charity of the Year” from Baxter, Boone and Marion counties to receive proceeds from the golf tournament. This year, associates chose Into the Light and Baxter Day Service Center (both in Baxter County), Children’s Charity Ministry in Boone County and Yellville- Summit School District Backpack Program in Marion County. Last year, the tournament raised $18,000 for local charities. “Nonprofits play a vital role in building and strengthening our communities,” said Scott Copeland, president of Arvest Bank – North Arkansas. “Along with their dedicated volunteers, these organizations provide critical services that contribute to our economic well-being. The money raised during this golf tournament will go a long way to helping them continue that important work.” Registration for the two-person scramble is open through August 16. Sponsorships are also available. To register as a team or as a sponsor, visit arvest.com/charitygolf
