Golf Tournament
This major fundraising event to benefit the cranberry industry is an annual golf tournament held in July. The tournament is a great opportunity for cranberry growers and members of the community to enjoy a day of golf, fine food and fellowship. In addition, the tournament helps to raise much needed funding for cranberry research. In order to support the ongoing research efforts, CRF relies on individuals to help sponsor this event.
