Fore! It's that time of year again. If you played in the 2009 edition of the CAN Golf Marathon, held at Diamond Oaks C.C., you remember how much fun it was. Participants enjoyed a day of golf, competition and good food. To top it off, players raised a total of $41,600 for our ministry.

This year, we are at it again, with a few exciting changes.

A Quick Look at the Changes:

1. A Change in Format

This year's golf tournament will be a scramble format. Each team (4 players) will be responsible for raising or paying their own entry fee of $2,500.00, or $625.00 per person. Individuals may sign up and pay or raise the minimum of $625.00. Individuals without a team will be placed the day of the scramble.

2. We Help You Raise the Money

Just get us a list of names and email addresses you would like to invite to sponsor you. We will send out letters on your behalf and track the responses, keeping you informed of your progress along the way.

3. Prizes!

There are two opportunities for your team to win Grand prizes. The first is through your fundraising efforts on behalf of Cornerstone. The team that raises the most money on behalf of Cornerstone will win a 20-person suite for a 2011 Texas Rangers Home game, courtesy of the Texas Rangers.

Should your team miss out on the Grand Prize, take heart; additional prizes will be awarded for the lowest team score in the scramble, Closest to the Pin, and Longest Drive competitions.

Helpful Hint: The team captain is responsible for recruiting his/her team and spearheading the fundraising efforts. The sooner you sign up and let us send your letters, the sooner you will be on your way to winning the Grand Prize!

The 2010 Golf Scramble Tournament will be held again this year at Diamond Oaks, C.C. on Oct. 4, 2010.

It's a fun day for a great cause. For more information, or to sign up, contact Denice Crawford at dcrawford@canetwork.org or 817-632-6000, ext. 110.
