The 2nd Annual Keep Hampton Roads Beautiful Golf Tournament is just around the corner and this is your chance to join in on this great, green day of golfing for the environment.

The HRPDC is proud to support askHRgreen.org and Keep Virginia Beautiful in this annual fundraiser. Last year’s tournament raised over $10,000, half of which stayed right here in Hampton Roads to provide funding for recycling and litter reduction programs within the 17 localities that make up Hampton Roads. “The programs in the region that this initiative supports demonstrate the ultimate in cooperation, collaboration and effective management of limited resources that benefit the region as a whole,” said Julia B. Hillegass, team leader of askHRgreen.org. “This group is an incubator for innovation in stewardship and enhancing the natural beauty of our region.”

In keeping with the theme, tournament organizers are taking steps to ensure that the tournament is easy on the environment. Recycling stations will be located throughout the course and the Keep Hampton Roads Beautiful Golf Tournament will be a "bottled water free" event. Tournament players will receive reusable water bottles to fill up at watering stations placed in the club and throughout the course.
