The Banks Foundation, a tax-exempt organization that assists families who are moving from public housing to private homeownership, will hold its Ninth Annual Charity Golf Event on Friday June 15, 2012 at The Preserve at Jordan Lake Golf Club in Chapel Hill, NC. Teams can join basketball legend Walter Davis to raise funds to benefit The Banks Foundation in its mission to assists families who are moving from public housing to private homeownership.

The night before the golf tournament, a reception and silent auction will be held at Brier Creek Country Club. Attendees of the 2011 reception included Jerry Stackhouse, James Worthy, Walter Davis and Rod Broadway.

“Last year, the Banks Foundation golf tournament raised over $27,000, which helped six families buy homes this past year,” said Sherrod Banks, President of the Foundation. “We are looking forward to helping even more this year, and we are thankful for all the support of the sponsors, players and sports celebrities who give so much time and money to the cause!”

The Banks Foundation is currently soliciting donations, giveaways and sponsorships for the events. For more information, contact Sherrod Banks at 919-474-9137 or by email to [email protected].
