Organizers of the Oliver Brown Memorial Golf Tournament presented the Walk for Our Buddies group a check for $4,000 at Tanner’s Bar and Grill in Athens on Monday.
This year’s tournament was held on Sept. 9 at Tomasso’s. Tanner’s Bar and Grill and the Brown family hold the tournament each year in honor of local soldier, Oliver Brown, who was killed in 2005 while serving his country in Iraq.
The golf tournament has raised $28,500 for Walk for Our Buddies over the past six years.
Walk for Our Buddies is a non-profit organization that raises funds for individuals and families with special needs and Down Syndrome in Bradford and Sullivan Counties.
The annual Walk for Our Buddies was held this year on Oct. 4.
