DISCILANTI OPEN: FESTIVAL TO BENEFIT SOS COMMUNITY SERVICES
Saturday, October 10 11am-9pm, Disc Golf Tournament, Live Music, Beer Tent, and more!
YPSILANTI, MICH. — Giving back to the local community can be fun. That’s the message that will be sent by participating co-eds and community members during the Discilanti Open, a disc-golf tournament and community festival that will raise money for SOS Community Services. Sponsored by emYOU! The Magazine, Superfriends Productions, Lakeshore Apartments and SOS Community Services, the Discilanti Open is the first event of its kind, incorporating a range of activities and attractions including three disc golf tournaments, live music, a local beer tent, games and an artisan bazaar.
“One hundred percent of the proceeds from everything will be donated to SOS Community Services,” said Aaron Surma, Discilanti Open project manager. “The goal is to raise ten thousand dollars. But it’s beyond just raising money. We also want to create awareness for this organization’s cause and motivate young people to donate more of their time to worthwhile causes.”
The disc golf tournament will be played according to random draw rules and will consist of two person teams divided into three divisions: competitive, recreational and novice. Local bands, artists and breweries will be present to entertain non-disc-golfers, who can try their hand at the corn hole (bean bag toss) tournament and pizza eating contest instead.
“The event is open to the public. All ages are welcome. It’s perfect for anyone who likes disc golf, good local music, good local beer, good art or just a good time,” said emYOU! The Magazine’s managing partner, Tim Adkins. “I’m really looking forward to seeing the local community come out to support one of their own nonprofits and demonstrate their care for the Ypsilanti community.”
The event will be held at the Ponds of Lake Shore at 2500 Lakeshore Boulevard, Ypsilanti, 48198. Admission for the event is a two dollar and seventy-three cent suggested donation, and registration for the disc golf tournament is fifteen dollars per person.
