Golf Tournament to Benefit Sea Turtles

Show off your golf game while supporting a great cause! Join the South Carolina Aquarium for the second annual Tees & Turtles Golf Tournament taking place September 10, 2013, at the Daniel Island Country Club on Daniel Island.

Teams of golfers are invited to come out and play on one of Charleston’s most beautiful courses, the Beresford Creek Course, generously donated by The Family Circle Cup. Proceeds from the tournament will go directly to support the Aquarium’s Sea Turtle Rescue Program which aids threatened and endangered sea turtles. To date, 125 sea turtles have been successfully rehabilitated and released by the program.
