Milton Police Hopes To Raise $50,000 at Golf Invitational

Staff Report

Those who love to golf can hit the links on Monday, Sept. 15 to raise money for the Milton Police Department.

The 2014 Golf Invitational will be held at 9 a.m. at the Atlanta National Golf Club, located at 350 Tournament Players Drive in Alpharetta.

The cost to participate is $125 per individual golfer or $500 for a foursome. Registration can be done online on the city of Milton’s website.

Last year’s inaugural event raised about $23,000 for a new K-9 officer, but the department hopes to raise about $50,000 this year.

Community Outreach Officer Ara Baronian said the agency this year is raising money for its Benevolent Fund, which provides financial support to officers and their families in crisis.

Baronian added the fund would provide resources and financial support to the families of fallen officers and those injured in the line of duty.

The event will kick off with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. on the 18-hole course. Included in the cost is breakfast, lunch, prizes, awards and gift bags.
