Three golf teams and several individuals won money and prizes, but two Habitat for Humanity affiliates were the big winners in the inaugural Habitat Golf Tournament. The fundraiser was held on October 21 at Apple Mountain Golf Club near Clarkesville.
Stockton Mortgage Company spearheaded and sponsored the tournament. The event raised $6,000 for Hall County Habitat and Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Georgia which serves Habersham and White Counties. The tournament also raised awareness of Habitat’s mission of helping create affordable housing for local families, organizers say.
“Stockton Mortgage is very active in the communities that we serve. We thought that creating a golf tournament that benefited Habitat for Humanity would be a great initiative,” says Stockton Branch Manager Cindy Hammond. “Habitat for Humanity does such great work in our areas and it allowed us to generate donations while doing what we love – playing golf.”
Hammond says they plan to hold another tournament in the Spring of 2023 to support these Habitat affiliates.
