Benefiting Scouts

The 2011 Golf Club at Rocky Mount 5k & 10k race will raise money to benefit the Tar River District Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. We are thrilled about the partnership we have established with the Scouts, and hope you will help us raise money for this great group of young men. In total we expect to raise over $3,200 to benefit local scouting. Proceeds will be handled as follows.
