Local golf tournament raises money for charity
The Oasis County Club in Palm Desert raised money Friday to fight prostate cancer and help veterans.
The Art Bowman Memorial Charity Golf Tournament raised money for the Arnold Palmer Prostate Cancer Center and the Independence Fund.
Bowman helped get the tournament started before he passed away from prostate cancer.
This year, the event also raised money for The Independence Fund which helps wounded veterans gain their independence.
The first $16,000 raised will pay for a track chair which is fitted to a veteran and helps them get around on just about any terrain.
News Channel 3’s John White was able to play in the tournament and help with emceeing duties.
