Proceeds from the tournament help LVOC provide adults in Oswego County, aged 16 years or older, with basic literacy programs.  The ability to read is one of the most important skills needed in daily life but it is often taken for granted.  There are almost 20,000 people in Oswego County that struggle to read.  The goal of LVOC is to provide opportunities for these adults to achieve personal freedom by building basic reading, writing and technology skills at no cost in a confidential environment.

            “By supporting this tournament, participants will help us reach the people in our county who need help and make reading as routine as hitting a golf ball,” said Jane Murphy, Executive Director.
