7th annual Putt for a Cause golf benefit

Residents will have the opportunity in March to play some putt-putt while enjoying some cool brews in a trendy part of Birmingham.

ACTION Civitan Club is hosting its seventh annual Putt for a Cause golf benefit Saturday, March 9, with proceeds benefitting Triumph Services and Civitan’s wheelchair ramp projects throughout the metro area.

Teams of up to six people can pay $150 to play a nine-hole short course at restaurants in Avondale. Establishments signed on so far include Avondale Brewery, 41st Street Pub, Avondale Common House, The Abbey and Post Office Pies.

“This is an exciting and unique fundraiser, as teams will travel to different restaurants/bars in the Avondale area and putt-putt their way to the final hole,” said event coordinator Susan Markem. “Triumph Services and ACTION Civitan joining forces for this event is a solid partnership for years to come, rooted in helping people with developmental disabilities and making their Birmingham a better place.”

Teams, judges and other volunteers kick off the putting at noon at Avondale Brewing Company. Also, from 11 a.m. to noon, there will be a pre-party at Avondale Brewing. The after party will be from 4 to 5 p.m. when exciting prizes from metro area businesses will be presented to participants and raffle winners will claim items.

"Triumph Services is very excited to join with ACTION Civitan Club for the Annual Putt for a Cause,” said Triumph Services Executive Director Beth Zaiontz. “This fun event benefits Triumph's and ACTION's causes, both of which make a significant impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities. Through Putt for a Cause Triumph is able to continue our mission to serve, empower and support individuals with developmental disabilities - making Birmingham a more inclusive and enriched community for us all.”
