The Apartment Association of Greater Augusta broke previous fundraising records by earning $42,719.96 during its annual Tee Off Fore Tatas charity golf tournament. This was over $9,000 more than what was raised last year.

"We are so pleased that we had another successful event and raised more than ever before,” said Shelly Martin, event committee chair.

A check will be presented to the Georgia Cancer Center at Augusta University on Nov. 22 at 12:30 p.m.

This year’s tournament took place Oct. 1 at the Mount Vintage Golf Club with premier sponsors ATC Development, Cherry Bekaert LLP, Hobbs Group Advisors, and South State Bank.

“It was a beautiful October day that was perfect for golfing, fun and giving back to such an important cause,” said Martin. “We are already looking forward to our event next year on October 7th, 2022."

The golf tournament began in 2006, initially raising money for various charities in the Central Savannah River Area. In 2010 it officially changed its name to Tee Off Fore Tatas to focus on raising awareness and support for breast cancer research. Since then, over $200,000 has been raised for the Georgia Cancer Center.

The Georgia Cancer Center is a multi-disciplinary academic cancer center whose mission is to reduce the burden of cancer in Georgia and across the globe through superior care, innovation and education.

The Apartment Association of Greater Augusta is a trade organization for the multifamily housing industry in the Central Savannah River Area. Its mission is to promote the professional growth and success of its members through education, networking opportunities and community involvement.
