Golf tournament benefits two nonprofits associated with Sheriff’s Office
A charitable golf tournament on June 28 will benefit non-profit organizations that respectively assist Clay County Sheriff’s Office employees in financial crisis and provide for community engagement.
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office Charitable Golf Tournament will tee off at 8 a.m. June 28 at the Paradise Pointe Golf Complex in Smithville, Mo. Teams can register for the four-person scramble tournament online, and sponsorship opportunities are still available. There will be contests, prizes, free lunch, a silent auction, raffles and more.
One of the organizations benefiting from the tournament is the CCSO HALO (Helping All Live Optimally) Team, which assists Sheriff's Office members experiencing financial crisis. This 501(c)3 nonprofit organization has helped employees out with utility costs, rent and mortgage payments, medical and therapy bills, groceries, school lunch balances, car repairs and more. The HALO Team is overseen by a volunteer board of Sheriff's Office employees.
The non-profit Community Engagement Fund allows the Sheriff's Office to do outreach throughout the County to build trust and teach crime prevention. It also helps support the Law Enforcement Career Path program run by CCSO’s School Resource Deputies in North Kansas City Schools, as well as the summer Junior Police Academy program. The Community Engagement Fund is overseen by the Clay County Sheriff’s Office Citizens Academy Alumni Association.
The Clay County Sheriff's Office Charity Golf Tournament will alternate years with the Clay County Sheriff's Office Canine Fund Golf Tournament. The K9 Tournament will return in 2025.
