Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail donates
$28,730 to benefit flood victims
Golfers playing Alabama’s
Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail
over Labor Day Weekend
helped raise $28,730 to assist
Louisiana flood victims. The
funds were donated to the
American Red Cross South
Louisiana Flood Relief.
“Louisiana golfers have
played the Robert Trent Jones
Golf Trail since it opened
nearly 25 years ago, and now
Louisiana needs our help,”
said John Cannon, president
of the RTJ Golf Trail. “We
are pleased to donate this to
Louisiana during their time of
crisis,” said Cannon.
From Saturday, Sept. 3,
through Monday, Sept. 5,
the RTJ Golf Trail donated
$10 from every round of golf
with a green and cart fees
paid. Additional financial
contributions
were
also
collected over the three-day
weekend, amounting to the
nearly $29,000 donation.
“It’s great to see the golf
community come together
and do something positive,
especially in the wake of the
devastating flooding in South
Louisiana,” said Logan Ray,
Assistant Executive Director of
the LGA. “The Robert Trent
Jones Golf Trail went above
and beyond the call, and their
contribution to the Louisiana
Flood Relief is incredible.”
The
donations
were
collected from all 11 RTJ sites
across Alabama and will be
specifically used for the flood
victims in South Louisiana.
