The Norway Country Club Ladies Golf Association plans to hold its ninth annual Drive Out Cancer Golf Tournament on Thursday, Aug. 11, at Norway Country Club, 310 Waterford Road.

Proceeds from this event will be donated to the Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine. This nonprofit, located at 59 Winter St. in Norway, serves anyone impacted by cancer in the Oxford Hills and surrounding communities including Bridgton and Rumford. The center offers free in-person and virtual programs, classes, support groups, travel and food assistance, plus a variety of comfort items, according to a news release from the center.

This fundraising event includes a ladies’ 18-hole scramble, basket raffle and silent auction.

Members of the association will be asking friends and businesses in the Oxford Hills and surrounding area for money donations and items for their auction and raffle. Individuals or businesses can sponsor the tournament by choosing to be a Bronze sponsor for $250, a Silver sponsor for $500 or a Gold Sponsor for $1,000. These sponsors will have their name on a sign by the clubhouse and name listed in the program. For $100 a business or individual can be a tee sponsor and have their name posted on a sign at a golf tee.

The ladies also collect a variety of items and gift certificates from local restaurants, golf courses and stores in the area to put in their silent auction and basket raffle. The public can place bids and purchase raffle tickets between 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 11. All winners will be announced after lunch on that day.

There will be a signup sheet at the golf course for ladies to sign up, or they can call 207-807-0226. Anyone with questions or interested in making a tax-deductible donation can call that number or email info@crcofwm.org.
