BRASELTON, Ga. — The Humane Society of Northeast Georgia is asking for more golfers to tee up for a fundraiser next week in Braselton.

HSNEGA is holding a May 21 fundraising drive at the Château Élan Golf Club, where participants can “turn a single shot into a massive windfall” helping both local animals in need, and themselves.

Golfers can get a chance to win $10,000, with the other $10,000 going to the shelter, if they ace a designated hole during the event.

Whether you’re aiming for the leaderboard or the $20,000 prize, every shot helps give vulnerable animals a second chance.”

Breakfast and lunch will be provided during the event and while still open, registration is closing soon.
