The Regional Nurse Practice Council, which consists of nurses from Wright Memorial Hospital in Trenton and Hedrick Medical Center in Chillicothe, is partnering with the Trenton Police Department and Grundy County EMS to raise money for the local Backpack Buddies program by hosting a miniature golf tournament at Johnny Poppers Barnyard Mini Golf, located outside The Red Barn event center in Trenton.
The 18-hole miniature golf tournament will take place on Saturday, Aug. 3. The event is set to begin at 10 a.m. and should be completed by 2 p.m. Registration will last from 10 to 11 a.m. on that day and the cost to golf will be $10 per person.
A bounce house will be set up inside The Red Barn and will cost $5 per child for unlimited use during the event. All children golfing or using the bounce house must be accompanied by an adult.
Door prizes will be drawn for throughout that event, and food and drink will be available for purchase.
All proceeds from the event will go to support the Backpack Buddies programs in Grundy and Livingston counties.
Backpack Buddies provides healthy meals to children who qualify for free or reduced lunches throughout the school year. While the schools are able to help those children in need during the week, Backback Buddies steps in to fill those gaps on the weekends when school isn’t in session. The program services 110 children in Grundy County and 190 children in Livingston County. A total of 12 area school districts participate in these two county programs. It costs around $175 per child per academic year to supply healthy, nutritious food to those who sign up.
