It’s not too late to sign up for this year’s Mike Long Youth Benefit Golf Tournament.
The tournament was renamed to honor Long, long-time organizer of the event. He passed away in March. This year’s tourney is Saturday, Sept. 16 at Mallard Creek Golf Course in Lebanon.
Organizers are seeking players, volunteers, donors and sponsors for the event, which raises money for Santiam Canyon students and nonprofits. To register to play or for more information about becoming a sponsor or a donor, go to ybgolf.com or call 503-949-1252.
The tournament started in 2001 by Long and his wife Jan with the goal of raising $500 for one scholarship. It passed the $300,000 mark with last year’s event. Tournament proceeds from 2022 paid for $18,500 in scholarships for 13 high school seniors and kicked in another $17,000 for seven local youth organizations.
