ASHEVILLE – February 2008- On Monday, April 28, Asheville Country Club will host the inaugural Eliada Charity Classic. The golf tournament will raise funds and awareness for the children and families served by Eliada.

Registration is limited to 80 players, and interested golfers are encouraged to sign up early. The registration fee includes a pre-event dinner, golf fees, tournament lunch, tournament reception, and a charitable donation.

According to event chairman and Eliada board member Gary Roberts, “Our goal is to have a tournament that runs smoothly, shows players a great time, and gets the Eliada name out there to people who might not be familiar with the work we do. Most importantly, we hope to raise much-needed funds for the programs and services Eliada offers.”
