15th Annual Golf Challenge Raises over $40,000 June 21, 2010

Doe River Gorge hosted its 15th Annual Golf Challenge on June 21, 2010, at The Ridges Golf and Country Club in Jonesborough, Tennessee. The Ridges is a premiere golf course in the Tri-cities area designed by Arthur Hills. It is a par-72 course measuring 6,500 yards for men and 5,500 yards for women.

This year 21 men's and women's foursomes joined together for a hot, but beautiful day of 18 holes of golf, competing in a select shot format. More importantly, these individuals came together to enable young people to experience the life-changing impact of a week at Adventure Quest at The Gorge. Each year, over 1,800 young lives and their families are impacted in positive ways through this Ministry.
