Touchstone Energy Golf Tournament Raises Over $30,000 for Shriners Hospitals for Children
August 10, 2010: BEMC and Touchstone Energy teamed up with the Brunswick County Shrine Club for the eighth year to sponsor a golf tournament benefiting the Shriners Hospitals for Children. The setting is always at St. James Plantation and this year’s play included the Members and Players Club courses. The total amount raised this year is over $30,000, adding to the more than $200,000 donated from this event to the charitable hospitals over the prior seven years. 
Support from the golfers and the local business community for this cause make this successful each year.
