NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, SC – St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church has announced $15,000 in awards to seven local nonprofits who are the beneficiaries of the 2018 Rich Jacobs Memorial Pro Am Golf Tournament.

On on August 9, St. Stephen’s hosted a reception in their Parish Hall to distribute the net proceeds from the 2018 Rich Jacobs Memorial Pro Am Golf Tournament, which was held at Arrowhead Country Club on June 20, 2018.
​
We are pleased to announce the following beneficiaries:

For the last several years, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, in partnership with the Myrtle Beach Golf Desk and Arrowhead Country Club, has hosted a golf tournament to raise funds to support local charities. Due to the tournament’s ongoing success, we have been able to add to our growing list of beneficiaries. Last year, we added Teen Angels. This year A Father’s Place will be included.

Along with our partners, The Myrtle Beach Golf Desk, and Arrowhead Country Club, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church would like to express thanks and appreciation for the ongoing support we have received over the years from our sponsors as well as individuals and entities that donated raffle items.
​
The tournament continues to be a success because of each and every person that has provided support, and our local community continues to benefit directly.
