Harbour Ridge Charity Mah Jongg Tournament to benefit local students and teachers

 

PALM CITY, Fla. — The Education Foundation of Martin County’s annual Mah Jongg tournament is so popular that it’s already sold out. Presented by Sandhill Cove Retirement Living, the charity event will be held on Friday, March 7, at Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club, 12600 Harbour Ridge Blvd. To be placed on a wait list, call the Foundation’s office at 772-600-8062.

 

The Mah Jongg tournament is held each year to support the many educational enrichment programs provided by the Education Foundation to benefit the students and teachers in Martin County’s public schools. The theme of “Make a Hand and Give a Hand to Education” lets participants know they’re playing for a worthy cause while having fun at the same time. 

 

Check-in and a continental breakfast begin at 9 a.m. and morning play starts at 10:30 a.m. followed by a luncheon at 12:30 p.m. Play will resume at 1:30 p.m. followed by an awards presentation.

 

During this daylong event, guests also may peruse and bid on items in a silent auction. Auction items include spa treatments, jewelry, gift baskets, restaurant gift cards and golf outings. 

 

Tournament Committee Chair and Education Foundation Board President Lois McGuire organizes the event each year.

 

“This is a fantastic way to support the students and teachers in our local schools,” said McGuire.

 

Sponsorships starting at $250 are still available for the Mah Jongg Tournament. For more information or to join Sandhill Cove, Northern Trust, Edwardine Tasco, Ann Vossekuil, and AT&T as an event sponsor, please call 772-600-8062 or visit www.EducationFoundationMC.org.
