Pulaski Mariners News Release
PULASKI, VA "" There is still time to register your team for the Pulaski Mariners' first annual Billy Wagner's Second Chance Learning Center Charity Golf Tournament! The event will take place on Friday, April 20th at the Pulaski Country Club. To participate in the day's events, you don't have to be golfing, as there will be a lunch available in the clubhouse for $10 per person (lunch registration is required for an accurate headcount) and everyone is welcome to bid on items in either of the silent auctions.
Wagner will be in attendance to support his charity and will be available to meet and greet with registered tournament teams at designated times of the event. A pair of silent auctions will also be held on the day of the event, featuring apparel and signed baseball memorabilia from the Pulaski and Seattle Mariners, teams from the Appalachian League, along with other great prizes. The first auction will close at 1:30pm and the other will close at the end of the tournament.
Wagner, a Southwest Virginia native, played 16 seasons in the Major Leagues for 5 different teams and was a 7-time All-Star. He started the non-profit foundation with his longtime friend, Erik Robinson, in an effort to address the increased school dropout rate in Southwest Virginia.
With locations in Bluefield and Tazewell "" plans for a future Pulaski location are being discussed "" the SCLC offers free tutoring, mentoring, and counseling for middle and high school students with educational and social problems. SCLC also provides scholarships to Southwest Virginia students looking to continue their education beyond high school in college or trade school.
If you have any questions regarding the golf tournament, would like to enter a team of four, or register for the luncheon, please call 540-980-1070.
