Ace fundraiser

AURELIUS - It was a spur of the moment suggestion at a Child Care Council of the Finger Lakes board meeting that led to a unique idea for a fundraiser last summer.

“One of our board members suggested a golf tournament,” said Cindy Smith, council executive director. “We thought that was a good idea, but then we thought, ‘wait a minute. Golf tournaments are really big,' then we thought why don't we miniaturize it?”

While it is not uncommon to see people hitting the links for enjoyment or to support a charity, the Child Care Council's “Fore” The Children Mini Golf Tournament, puts a whole new spin on the idea.
