[Rose_City_Chapter] Putt Putt Proceeds to Benefit Hull Foundation, Portland Legacy Lions

[Cherri Wagner]

When Kirk and I were discussing this last night he was trying to find a way to do a simple project to advertise “Meet the Blind” month. Sponsoring a hole will be publicity and also emphasize community support to another group that helps blind people. It will also help the organization raise money for their projects too.

>> With COVID case numbers on the rise again, Hull Foundation and Learning Center staff members have found a way to host fundraisers at the park, 43233 S.E. Oral Hull Road, Sandy, while maintaining social distancing: mini golf.
>> 
>> From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25, the Hull Foundation and Learning Center staff partnered with the Portland Legacy Lions Club will host nine holes of mini golf on the grounds of the park.
>> 
>> "This event is a great opportunity for the Hull Foundation to work with community members," said Executive Director Keith Vance. "It's a nice family-friendly event for the community to get to know us and what we do."
>> 
>> Players' start times will be staggered to keep people distanced from those outside of their usual social bubble. There will be putting and chipping contests, which could earn participants a prize, and a raffle will take place throughout the event.
>> 
>> "It should be fun and accessible for all ages," Vance said.
>> 
>> Entry is $20 per person or $75 per team of four people. Reservations for start times should be made by Friday, Sept. 24, by calling the office at 503-668-6195 or emailing oralhull at gmail.com.
>> 
>> "We're hoping this becomes an annual event," Vance added. "It should be a good time."
>> 
>> Those interested in supporting the event can sponsor a hole for $50 before Sept. 17. Those who wish to support the Hull Foundation for the Blind but cannot attend the fundraiser can donate online at oralhull.org.
