The tournament netted over $6000.00 for the local Habitat for Humanity chapter.

Habitat for Humanity is a Christian Non-Profit ministry that helps lower income families become home owners. It is a partnership between the families, who provide “sweat equity” as part of their down payment, volunteers and donors. Long term, no interest mortgage loans are also an important part of the process, and mortgage payments provide funding for future Habitat homes. Habitat International is active in over 100 countries, providing homes for people all over the world. Habitat for Humanity doesn’t just build houses, they build communities and families.
