The Morning Pointe Foundation’s 10th Annual Mastering Memory Care Golf Tournament for Chattanooga is just over a month away, and only a few team slots are left.
The Golf Tournament
The tournament will take place on Monday, May 5, at the Lookout Mountain Club at 1730 Wood Nymph Trail. It is a fundraiser for the Morning Pointe Foundation to provide clinical scholarships to students at local community colleges and universities. These include Chattanooga State Community College, TCAT Chattanooga, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Cleveland State Community College and Dalton State College in Dalton, Georgia.
The Morning Pointe Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Morning Pointe Senior Living founded by Tennessee-based senior healthcare entrepreneurs Greg A. Vital and J. Franklin Farrow. The 501(c)3 nonprofit public service organization was created in 2014 to provide caregiver support programs, sponsor educational awareness events, and fund clinical scholarships to advance the care of seniors throughout the Southeast.
The Logistics
Twenty-eight teams will compete. Registration and breakfast will start at 7:30 a.m., with the shotgun start at 8:30. There will be an awards luncheon at 1 p.m. following the tournament.
Contests include hole-in-one, longest drive, putting and closest-to-the-hole, with various prizes.
“We have a great time each year playing golf to help make dreams come true for some local students,” said Miranda Perez, Morning Pointe Foundation executive director. “If you love to golf and have a heart for seniors or students pursuing nursing education, please join us for the Mastering Memory Golf Tournament.”
