Lucky Duck Golf Benefit Registration Now Underway

By DARLA M. YOUNGS
RICHFIELD SPRINGS

This year’s annual Lucky Duck Open Golf Tournament will take place for the first time at Meadow Links Golf Course. The benefit event is set to begin at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 28. Proceeds from the Lucky Duck tourney are used to give “a big hands up to those among us who desperately need it,” organizers said.

Since 2021, the Lucky Duck Foundation here has awarded $31,000.00 in grants to both individuals and charitable organizations, in support of the Cooperstown Food Pantry’s Children’s Backpack Program, the Helios Care art program for children dealing with loss, the Otsego County Council of Senior Citizens, and Community Bible Chapel toward costs to repair the hole in the roof of an elderly woman, as well as to five members of the community caught in very difficult medical and financial situations.
