Thornton, CO -- Arapahoe House will hold its 9th annual charity golf tournament Teeing off for Arapahoe House on Thursday, August 20, 2009 at Hiwan Golf Club in Evergreen, CO.   All proceeds from the tournament will benefit the life-changing addiction treatment programs of Arapahoe House.

“Now, more than ever, people suffering from substance abuse need our help,” said Arapahoe House CEO David Murphy.  “Donations are critical in today’s economy when resources for treatment become even more inaccessible for those in need.  Teeing off for Arapahoe House is a great way to give to a good cause while enjoying the end of the summer.”

“Our annual golf tournament is a great excuse to get out of work for a good cause,” said golf committee member and Arapahoe House Foundation board member Laurie Brown.  “In our 9th year of the tournament, we’re pleased to offer an exciting day in the mountains for the avid golfer.”   

The Teeing off for Arapahoe House Tournament is a scramble format.  The day includes 18 holes, challenging contests, lunch and dinner.  Registration opens at 11:00 a.m. and the tournament will have a 1:15 p.m. shotgun start.

For their sponsorship generosity, Arapahoe House wishes to thank Precision Logistics and Northwestern Mutual Financial Network.
