The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is swinging into action with their 2025 Burnette Nobles Golf Ball Drop to support youth education, this next Monday at the Highland Creek Golf club. A slice of the event's proceeds will beef up the Assistant Chief Vicki Foster Memorial Scholarship Fund, an initiative aimed at giving a leg up to a graduating senior affiliated with the Right Moves for Youth program.
According to the department's social media rallying cry, "50% of every dollar donated will go to the scholarship,"
Further sweetening the deal, there are multiple tiers of entry for those looking to test their luck or simply contribute to a worthy cause. Their post detailed, "$10 = 1 ball, $20 = 3 balls, $100 = 20 balls." Thrifty and ambitious patrons alike can find a stake that suits their philanthropic appetite.
A tip of the hat to the legacy of Assistant Chief Vicki Foster enlivens this charitable shindig, where community and camaraderie converge on the greenery. It's not just about who has the fortune of scooping up the 50%—but who stands to gain from the investment in their future. For those keen on contributing or trying their luck at potting a win, links to purchase the symbolic golf balls are available on the department's official platforms.
