VS UNIQUE RULE FOR HARKINS: Although this is a 4 man team event, VS teams will be one boat. Both boats within a 4 man team may enter creating intra-team competition, along with other entrants. (2 day tourney 4/20 - 4/21)
The Harkins - Sanders 4 man Team Tournament benefits Shriners Children's Hospital which has one goal: to change and improve children's lives. Shriners does this by caring for their patients, conducting research to gain knowledge and develop new treatments, and providing educational opportunities for physicians and other healthcare professionals.
Both patients and health care professionals find they have entered a very special place when they step into Shriners Children's. From the first moment, the experience is different. Our compassionate, patient-centered atmosphere immediately sets a tone of hope for the families who come to us.
