Goshen Valley Ranch Hosts Sixth Annual Golf Classic

Online, August 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The Goshen Valley Boys Ranch will host its Goshen Valley Classic on Monday, Oct. 17, 2011 at the Cherokee Country Club located at 665 Hightower Trail in Atlanta.

Proceeds from the sixth annual golf tournament will benefit the Goshen Valley Boy Ranch foster home in Waleska, Ga. The Classic is open to all player levels. Event details and sign-up information is available online at www.goshenvalleyclassic.org or by calling 770-796-4618. Lunch, a post round dinner reception and tournament prizes are included. Bids may be placed during a silent auction on sports memorabilia during the course of the day.

Some of the sponsors for the 2011 Classic include "Gold Sponsors" Data Oceans, Goshen Capital Partners and Lake Arrowhead Chapel, as well as Sports Radio 680 The Fan, Frank Jackson Ford, Family Christian Stores, Five Point Partners, Landys+Gyr, Morgan Keegan, Goshen Capital Partners, The Fleming Foundation, Rotary Club of Cherokee County, Turnpoint Solutions and Tech CFO.

"Support from the Atlanta business community has helped the Classic grow each year into a top flight event that also supports a great cause," said tournament director Zach Bland. "With a return to one of the best courses in the southeast and by the response we got from players last year, we expect the 2011 edition of the Classic will be the best yet."

The Goshen Valley Boys Ranch has provided refuge and fundamental life skills to at-risk young men between the ages of nine and 19 for a decade. Last year's event raised $80,000.
