Simmons Employee Foundation 5th annual charity golf tournament

EAST ALTON, Ill. -- Simmons Employee Foundation, the law firm's non-profit organization dedicated to giving back to local communities, is holding its 5th annual charity golf tournament on September 18. The four-man scramble will be held at the Sunset Hills golf course in Edwardsville, Illinois. One-hundred percent of the net proceeds from the tournament will benefit local charity H.I.S. K.I.D.S., an organization dedicated to helping patients and families affected by childhood cancer.
The golf tournament will consist of two sessions, one at 8:00 and another at 1:30. The cost is $100 per person, or $400 per foursome, with an optional skins game. Mulligans may also be purchased. The prizes include cash for the first- and second-place teams in each of three flights. The tournament also offers three levels of game-play sponsorship as well as hole sponsorship.
