Visit to Wood County Golf Courses and Driving Ranges🏌️
We visited golf courses and driving ranges throughout the county and delivered these golf bag tags with built-in golf tees! Almost 1,000 Tags were distributed! While we were there, we took time to educate about our mission and each location received this flyer explaining our coalition! Each location was encouraged to post on social media about our visit! Thank you to our golf partners. Did you know we sponsor golf course tee signs throughout the county?
