It is time to dust off the kilts and polish the clubs for a local tradition that blends sport with a spirit of service.
The Susanville Salvation Army has officially announced that the 5th Annual Gary Felt Kilt Classic Golf Tournament will return to the Diamond Mountain Golf Course on June 6th.
The fundraising event serves as a tribute to Gary Felt, a man whose dedication to Susanville left an enduring mark on the hearts of many. According to the Salvation Army, Gary is deeply missed, and this tournament has become a vital annual tradition to honor his memory and keep his unique spirit of giving alive within the community.
Supporting Our Community
The Kilt Classic is more than just a day on the green; it is a primary fundraiser for the essential programs that Lassen County families rely on throughout the year.
Every dollar raised through the tournament stays right here in our community to fund a wide array of services. These include critical emergency assistance such as daily food, utility help, transportation, and rent support.
Furthermore, the proceeds bolster seasonal community programs like Thanksgiving and Christmas assistance, the Angel Tree, summer camps, and the back-to-school program which provides local children with clothing, backpacks and supplies.
How to Get Involved
The tournament is currently coming together, and there are several ways for local businesses and residents to participate. The Salvation Army is currently seeking donations for auction items and offering various sponsorship opportunities, including Hole Sponsorships.
Of course, golfers are also encouraged to register their teams early to secure a spot in the field. Click here for the Salvation Army’s online registration form.
Whether you are looking to sponsor, donate an item, or sign up to play, you can find more information by calling the Salvation Army office at 1.530.257.0314 or by stopping by their location at 1560 Main Street.
Come out on June 6th for a fun day of golf that supports the vital local programs and services that keep our community strong.
