Golf tournament to benefit Shriners

Space is still available for a four-person scramble golf tournament at Camas Meadows to benefit Shriners International.

The tournament is the senior project of Mckinsey Rodgers of Camas High School. Rodgers was a Shriners patient when she was diagnosed with a bone cyst in her leg at age seven.

The tournament will be held March 13. Tickets are $100 per person for 18 holes of golf, golf carts, range balls and a barbecue after the tournament.

There will also be a raffle during the barbecue and an auction for a basketball signed by the Portland Trail Blazers.
