Things are gearing up for the 2nd annual "Day of Hope"! June 27 is rapidly approaching and we're all very excited about this year's new Golf Tournament/Four-person scramble!

Last year's introduction of the 5K run and Family Fun walk was a success. We had so many wonderful people sign up, and we hope to have so many more this year! The 5K run begins at the Oaklands Pavilion in Murfreesboro (900 Maney Ave.). Kids who haven't quite reached the 5K mark yet can participate in the 1-mile Family Fun Walk, guaranteeing fun for the whole family. To pre-register for the run, you can visit Active.com. You can also register at the actual event itself, so no matter what, you can begin "Planting HOPE in the 'Boro" with us.

This year introduces the Golf Tournament/Four-Person Scramble. Not sure what a scramble is? Here's a short definition from About.com: The Scramble is one of the primary forms of tournament play for golf associations, charity events and the like. A scramble is usually played with 4-person teams, but 2-person scrambles are popular, too. At a 2-person scramble, handicaps are usually applied; at a 4-person scramble, handicaps are usually not applied. You can visit the above Web site for a full definition and explanation. The tournament will be held at Champion's Run Golf Course (14262 Mt. Pleasant Rd, Rockvale, TN 37153). Lunch is served at 12:30 with tee time at 1:30 p.m. Cost of registration is $80 per person. You can pick up a registration form at Greenhouse Ministries, Champion's Run Golf Course, Gateway Tire, or online at HobNob Murfreesboro's Web site. There will be a competition for prizes, so bring your best game-face!

So whether you love golfing, running, walking, or just fun in general, our "Day of Hope" is a fantastic way to do what you love, and help your community. Register for the 5K run or the tournament, and you help us keep "Planting HOPE in the 'Boro!!"
