Shreveport Diabetes Sports Plans Year's Biggest Fundraiser

Shreveport Diabetes Sports' annual golf scramble, it's largest single fundraiser of the year, is coming up Monday, May 18, at Shreveport's East Ridge Country Club. Shreveport Diabetes Sports is a non-profit corporation that organizes sports events to raise money to fight Type 1 diabetes in children. All profits go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Shreveport Diabetes Sports has raised over $270,000 since their founding three years ago and this year's golf tournament and banquet are the high point of their annual efforts.

Joe Sterkx, SDS co-chairman, said openings remain for Monday's scramble. Sterkx also said this year's prizes include custom golf clubs, a south Louisiana fishing trip, a large screen TV, a couple package to El Dorado Caino and more. In addition, golfers will have four chances to win a car on ERCC's par three holes!

Monday's tournament will be followed by the annual banquet and prime rib dinner featuring a silent auction and even more prizes. 710 KEEL's Robert J. Wright will once again be the emcee.
