SUPER VALU CHARITY EVENT TO BENEFIT PAXTON PARK
The Super Valu Charity Event To Benefit Paxton Park was started in 2002 and has featured PGA Tour Professionals Russ Cochran and Kenny Perry each of the last 8 years. This event was started to provide funds to help make necessary capital improvements to Paxton Park and all proceeds go into a special account which is used for that purpose, and beginning in 2007 a portion is used for Junior Golf. It is a fun, 4 person scramble event that takes on the atmosphere of a reunion more than a golf tournament. It is a chance for people to watch Kenny and Russ play some golf and have some fun mixing it up with friends and fans alike.
In 2010, no specific date is set at this time. We are very appreciative of Russ Cochran, Kenny Perry, Freddie Sanders and Mark Page for their efforts each year on behalf of this event. They have busy schedules and the fact they continue to come back and help this facility each year is huge and we deeply appreciate their help.
