Apparo Academy Golf Tournament

Despite the devastation from Hurricane Helene, the CSRA community came out and supported Apparo by helping us to raise $120,000 in our 7th Annual Golf Tournament.

We appreciate the teams that played in the tournament (even after 2 date changes), hole sponsors and event sponsors.
