Scott County Meth Task Force Golf Fundraiser Helps Combats Youth Drug Use

The Scott County Meth Task Force is holding its seventh annual "Tee It Up for the Task Force" Golf Classic Fundraiser on Friday, Sept. 6.

The fundraiser is the primary source of funding for the many outreach and educational efforts of the task force. The Meth Task Force's goal is to promote a strong anti-drug message, particularly to youth and decrease the use of harmful drugs.      

It is a public/private partnership dedicated to identifying, educating, preventing and controlling methamphetamine (meth) and heroin and their impact on the community. Additionally, the Meth Task Force is committed to educating and raising awareness about the impact of gateway drugs, including: illegal use of prescription drugs, marijuana use, inhalants and underage drinking.

This year the Meth Task Force will also focus on the "Take It to the Box" program, which provides for the safe disposal of illegal and prescription drugs. 

Money raised from the event will go toward the Meth Task Force's continued efforts to create new programs and tactics to battle meth and heroin usage.

Stonebrooke Golf Club is hosting the golf tournament and is located at 2693 County Road 79 in Shakopee. Registration is $100 per person and includes 18 holes of golf, cart, lunch and prizes. There will also be a live auction.

To register and to view the brochure visit the Stonebrooke Golf Club website.
