First United Bank & Trust will be sponsoring the 31st Annual Charity Golf Tournament at the Oakland Golf Club on Friday, July 19, 2019. This is the 21st year that First United Bank & Trust has organized this event. The tournament has become a tradition of the past 30 years and has raised over $534,000 for Garrett County charities. Participants can enjoy a challenging round of golf and at the same time, help raise much-needed funds for worthy community projects. The 2019 recipients for this year’s tournament are United Way of Garrett County and the Garrett County I Can Swim! program.
“United Way of Garrett County fights for the education, financial stability and health of every person in every community. Thanks to the support from the First United Charity Golf Tournament, together we fight and together we will win,” stated Juli McCoy, Executive Director County United Way.
Since 2011, the Garrett County I Can Swim! Program has been successfully serving the children of Garrett County and is held at the Garrett County Community Aquatic and Recreation Center (CARC). This program provides all Garrett County kindergarteners with free water safety instruction and swim lessons.
Golfers will be competing for generous team prizes. First place low net and low gross teams will each receive $800 gift certificates. The 2nd place low net and low gross teams will each receive $600, the 3rd place low net team will receive a $400 gift certificate.
