Pi Kappa Alpha will sponsor a golf tournament to benefit the Orono Fire Department’s Fire Safety Program.
The 18-hole, two man scramble will be held on Saturday at Hidden Meadows Golf Course in Old Town. Tee-off is at 11 a.m.
Dan Burgess, Pi Kappa Alpha’s Vice President, said the fire department will use this money to start their Firefighter Trading Card program. He said the firefighters will hand out the trading cards, which picture firefighters, fire trucks and safety tips, to children at area schools.
Burgess said the grade school children get excited about the cards, trade with each other, and often memorize the cards. The cards will get children enthusiastic and promote fire safety in a fun way.
“The fire safety program is run by fundraising only, so we wanted to do our part for the fire department and the community,” Burgess said.
The tournament costs $25 per player. Prizes will be awarded for best team score, longest drive, straightest drive and closest to the pin. A free barbeque follows the event.
