Swing for the Fences at the Cooperstown Fundraiser Golf Tournament

Baseball and golf may be different games, but they have a lot in common. Both reward patience, teamwork, a steady swing, and the ability to bounce back after a tough shot.

On October 29, golfers will have the chance to put those skills to work at the Cooperstown Fundraiser Golf Tournament at Chicora Golf Club in Dunn. The tournament will help the Carolina Freedom 12U baseball team raise funds for a trip its players will never forget: Cooperstown, New York, June 11 through 17, 2027.

The day begins with lunch at 11:00 a.m., followed by a 12:00 p.m. shotgun start. Teams of four can register for $450, or choose the $500 package, which includes team entry and a tee sponsorship.

All proceeds will directly support the Carolina Freedom players as they prepare for their Cooperstown experience. For young baseball players, a trip to Cooperstown is more than a road game. It is a chance to compete, make memories with teammates, and take part in a tradition that celebrates the sport they love.

Ward and Smith is sponsoring the event and invites local businesses, baseball supporters, families, and golfers to join in. Whether your foursome is chasing birdies, avoiding bunkers, or simply enjoying a day on the course, every swing helps these players get closer to their goal. Register today!
