EBENSBURG — Service Paws of Central PA held its inaugural golf tournament on July 28 at the Ebensburg Country Club.

This was a four-person scramble for all skill levels. A grilled lunch was held. There was a basket raffle, 50/50, door prizes for each golfer (gift cards donated by 66 area businesses), as well as skill contests. Among the prizes won for those games was a golf watch provided by Beerbower Jewelers of Hollidaysburg.

Courtesy Ford offered a new Ford Focus for a hole-in-one; no one met that challenge, but the person who came closest to the hole in one shot received a nice consolation prize.

Service Paws of Central PA is a local non-profit organization established to financially assist those in need of a service dog and/or those who may already have a service dog and need help with extraordinary veterinary expenses.

A net profit of $6,400 was reached with the help of the 74 golfers who participated in this event, as well as the 66 sponsors.
