Rain, flooding doesn’t stop Sheriff’s Foundation Invitational

[media-credit id=18 align=”alignright” width=”300″][/media-credit]Dozens braved the heavy rains Monday morning at Fort Mill’s Springfield Golf Course for the sixth annual Sheriff’s Foundation of York County Invitational.

York County Sheriff Bruce Bryant says the tournament raises money for student scholarships, the Explorer program and employee recognition efforts.

Earlier this year, area school districts were given over a thousand dollars worth of school supplies to be given to families in need. In 2011, the tournament raised more than $11,000 for the sheriff’s foundation.

The scholarships are awarded to high school seniors seeking degrees and future careers in law enforcement.

Final totals for this year’s tournament are said to be available later this week.
