Tee off for Diabetes

Junior golfers ages 8-18 are expected to take to the greens of Summerville Country Club on Saturday, February 1st for the 1st Annual Team William T1D Tee Off for Diabetes. The junior golf tournament, endorsed by the South Carolina Junior Golf Association and the First Tee of Charleston, is a SCJGA ranking tournament open to all golfers. It was created to bring more awareness and education about juvenile diabetes and raise funding for the Palmetto Chapter of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, provide a scholarship for Camp Adam Fisher, the Carolina’s largest summer camp for children with diabetes, and hopefully donate a diabetes alert dog to a child with type 1 diabetes in the Lowcountry.

If your school is interested in registering a youth team for this golf tournament, your school can receive a point on the wellness checklist for participating as a school team in a physical activity event!
