FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PLAYERS INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CESSNA SKINNER ROUND-UP

Celebrity Golf Tournament Presented by Halifax Health Takes Place at Spruce Creek Country Club
on Thursday, October 29

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (September 24, 2015) – Players are still wanted for the Cessna Skinner Round-Up Golf Tournament presented by Halifax Health! Taking place at Spruce Creek Country Club on Thursday, October 29, individual player positions remain open for the celebrity-filled event. Registration for the event costs just $150 per player with all proceeds benefitting the Council on Aging of Volusia County. New in 2015, individuals and corporations have the option to participate in the golf tournament themselves, or to donate their entry to an injured service member through Hope For The Warriors.

“Mike and I are so excited to bring the Cessna Skinner Round-Up back to Daytona Beach this year,” Angie Skinner, co-host of the Cessna Skinner Round-Up, said. “We’re excited to re-connect with our neighbors across Volusia County, and to help our community by supporting the Council on Aging with this year’s event. We have some great corporate sponsors behind the event,
and hope that the community will turn out to show their support, too. The Hoedown Bash is open to the public on Wednesday night, and we’re still accepting individual players for the golf tournament on Thursday. It should be a really great event, and a great way to officially mark our homecoming back to Daytona Beach.”

Golfers in the Skinner Round-Up Golf Tournament presented by Halifax Health will participate in an 18-hole scramble at the famed Spruce Creek Country Club. Registration for the event will open at 10 a.m. ET on Thursday, October 29, followed by a shotgun start at 11 a.m. ET. After an afternoon of play on the Bill Amick-designed course, the evening will conclude with an awards ceremony. Lunch is also included in the player registration fee.

While the proceeds of the 2015 Cessna Skinner Round-Up will benefit the Council on Aging of Volusia County, the event is still finding other ways to support and give back to additional charity organizations. New in 2015, individuals and corporations have the option to purchase an individual player entry and donate it to a service member through a partnership with Hope For The Warriors. Driven by both a friendship and partnership between Hope For The Warriors and the Skinners, several corporate hole sponsors inquired about donating their sponsorship back to injured service men and women by allowing them to participate in the golf tournament in their place. Hope For The Warriors will pair the donations with injured service men and women to extend an invitation to participate in the Skinner Round-Up Golf Tournament presented by Halifax Health.

“Angie and I became involved with Hope For The Warriors about two years ago, and it’s been such a blessing ever since,” Mike Skinner, co-host of the Cessna Skinner Round-Up, said. “Through the relationship, we’ve met so many fantastic men and women who are currently serving or have served our great country. It changes your perspective when you meet these people first hand. You realize that we couldn’t do what we do if they didn’t do what they do, and because of that, we’re always looking
for additional ways to support them. I’m so proud of our corporate partners for coming up with this great plan and look forward to having injured service men and women participating in the Cessna Skinner Round-Up this year.”

Golfers can register for the Cessna Skinner Round-Up Golf Tournament presented by Halifax Health by emailing Angie@MikeSkinner.com or by calling 386.763.9011. If you would like to donate your entry to an injured service member, please mention that when registering for the tournament.

In 2015, the Cessna Skinner Round-Up will benefit the Council on Aging of Volusia County. In partnership with the community, the Council on Aging promotes healthy, independent living through caring and compassionate services. The Council on Aging of Volusia County serves thousands of clients every year through meals programs, non-medical health services and senior activities.
