Events
"Give Back to MHK" Golf Tournament
Individuals and teams compete in a four-person scramble golf tournament event to benefit local nonprofits in the Manhattan area. Each team will choose a nonprofit to play for, with $100 of each team's entry fee going towards the charity of their choice. We also ask that participants bring an item from the in-kind donation list provided on the Manhattan Emergency Shelter website. Click the link to be taken directly to their website. These items will go a long way to help further support our community.
