‘Hastings Hole-In-One’ Mini-Golf To Keep Kids’ Literacy Program On The Green

WritersExchange-2

Your childhood dreams are coming to fruition at the end of this month. Here There has teamed up with The Writers’ Exchange for a mini-golf fundraiser that is any childhood reader’s dream.

Think Hogwarts-themed holes, appearances by that cute little caterpillar that stomached everything in sight, and little Max’s Wild Things decorating the course. The Pagemasters Championship – arguably the most anticipated golf tournament of the year – goes down on May 27th and you’re gonna want to win these bragging rights. Add a few drinks, some prizes, and a less competitive pretense than usual and come on down the following day (May 28th) for Putt-Putt for all. Or, if you’d like to skip the babysitter May 27th, May 29th will have a Families and Friends daytime drop-in.

The best part is proceeds from all events go to The Writers’ Exchange, a stellar organization that gets inner-city kids stoked on reading and writing. So bust out your best putters and help spread the literary love!

Pagemasters Championship: May 27th 6-11 PM | Putt-Putt for All: May 28th 6-11 PM | Friends & Families: May 28th and 29th 10-5 PM | 881 East Hastings St. | Tickets
