Between 200 and 250 children a year are matched in one-on-one mentoring friendships with adult volunteers through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod and the Islands.

A day at the golf course this weekend will benefit the program. The MV BIG Golf Fore Kids Tournament will take place Sunday, Oct. 5 at the Mink Meadows Golf Club in Vineyard Haven.

The event is sponsored by Martha’s Vineyard Savings Bank and Mink Meadows Golf Club, with the help of Big Brothers Big Sisters program volunteers.

There are several ways to get involved. Hit the links with a golf reservation or consider a hole sponsorship or sponsoring a high school student. Hole sponsorship and golf reservations can be secured up to the day of the event. For information or to join, contact Jeanine at 508-771-5150 ext. 100 or Connie Alexander at 508-847-3611.
