On Friday, August 23rd, the Huron Chamber of Commerce hosted its Annual Charity Golf Tournament at the scenic Woodlands Links Golf Course. This year’s tournament was not just a day of friendly competition and camaraderie but also a resounding success in supporting a great cause. We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to the incredible generosity of our participants, sponsors, and local businesses, we raised $1,910 for Habitat for Humanity – Huron County. These funds will go directly toward building homes and hope within our community.

The day kicked off with a shotgun start at noon, setting the stage for a fun-filled afternoon of golf. Teams of two and four took to the greens, vying for the longest drive, closest to the pin, and other exciting prizes. The competition was fierce, but the atmosphere remained light-hearted, with plenty of laughter and good-natured ribbing among participants. After the game, everyone gathered for a mouth-watering steak dinner, where the day’s winners were celebrated, and more prizes were handed out.
