“We are so excited to say that this tournament is 90% sold out and have received so much positive response for this event. Our family loves animals, so it was easy to choose the Humane Society as the beneficiary of this tournament.” said Ashley Rushnell, Funeral Director and Event Chair.

Monies raised from the tournament will help HSHPE offset rising expenses brought about by increases in surrendered and abandoned animals, and rising costs for food, shelter supplies, medicine and veterinary care.

“This inaugural Rushnell Charity Golf Tournament is a testament to the Rushnell family’s devotion to the communities they serve and to their personal passion for animals. We cannot thank the family enough for their compassion and we look forward to a fun and prosperous day on the golf course,” said Greg Sudds, chair of HSHPE’s Board of Directors.

At the moment, the tournament is looking for a few more hole sponsors at $250/ hole and some door prizes to make this an even bigger success.

“We extend special thanks to all the participating golfers and to our amazing sponsor,” added Rushnell. PLATINUM: Rushnell Funeral Homes Inc.
