Money raised for children’s hospital transportation

The El Hasa Shriners club has scheduled its annual golf tournament fundraiser.

The event is set for 9 a.m. June 9 at Portsmouth Elks Country Club, Roger Morgan, with the group, said.

Proceeds from the event will go to the transportation fund for members to take children to Shriners Children’s Hospitals in Cincinnati and Lexington, Kentucky.

Morgan said the cost to compete is $60 per person and that groups can sponsor a hole in the tournament for $100. He said those interested can contact him at 740-532-8333.

In addition to the golf tournament, Morgan said the Shriners will also be raffling off season football passes for Ohio State University football to raise money for the transportation fund.

The group also plans to have a booth at the Lawrence County Fair this year.
