Supporters of the Fairhope Pirates’ sports programs are preparing for the 2014 Fairhope Pirate Classic, the annual golf tournament to benefit the Fairhope Pirate Booster Club.
The tournament again welcomes Terry Thompson Chevrolet as title sponsor.
This four-person scramble tournament will be held April 4 at Quail Creek Golf course in Fairhope, with a 1 p.m. shotgun start.
The Pirate Classic Committee, chaired by Lisa Bishop and Ty Thompson, is hoping to raise $20,000, and is currently seeking major sponsors at $1,000.
Each major sponsor includes a four-person team, hole sign and gifts for each team member.
“We are especially hoping that Fairhope High School alumni, particularly those who were involved in the sports programs, will put teams together and support this tournament,” Thompson said. “For many students, athletics are critical to their middle and high school years, giving them focus, discipline and an opportunity to contribute to a team. Without the support of the Booster Club, the schools would not have the equipment, uniforms and other things that enable them to offer such great opportunities for student-athletes.”
The Fairhope Pirate Booster Club supports all sports programs at Fairhope Middle School and Fairhope High School.
