Toys for Tots hosts golf scramble benefiting local children

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. –  Toys for Tots hosted a morning of golf Monday for its annual golf scramble.

The event commenced at Cross Winds Golf Course, featuring a record attendance of 75 golfers.

Darby Meredith. Toys for Tots youth ambassador, said she started the event to gather annual recognition and used golf as a catalyst to appeal to the community.

The program conducts various events throughout the year with the goal of raising funds for children in need of toys.

Janel Doyle, Toys for Tots Southern Kentucky coordinator, said they have served 8,000 children, seniors and veterans in the community.

Doyle says the program runs off of the support of local business.

However, Toys for Tots extends far beyond its signature event.

“The Marine Toys for Tots program is known as a Christmas program, but actually we’re a year round force for good”, Doyle said.
