As we prepare to say farewell to Evergreen, well….we can’t go out without a bang. I’m not sure there can ever be another venue so fantastic and accommodating, but it is what it is.
I’ll cherish the memories and be grateful we had it for the time we did.
As such, here’s the deets on our going away sanctioned event.


Bente Fundraiser
At the end of May, 2022 we will say goodbye to our beloved Evergreen Flyways DGC. It’s not the ending we wanted to see, we will press on. What we cannot do is let a loss hinder the spirit we in the disc golf community share. That said, we have turned this “goodbye” into an opportunity to support the literal future of our sport.

“Farewell ForEvergreen-Driven by Innova” will be a fundraiser event to help send one of our local standouts to 2 of the biggest amateur events in the nation this year.

This event will benefit Henry Bente and his family as they travel to the 2022 PDGA United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship on
June 10th-12th 2022 at the Kensington Metropark / Toboggan Course Milford, Michigan AND 2022 PDGA Junior Disc Golf World Championship July 12th-16th Peoria, Illinois !!!

Henry, his father Jonathan, and the rest fo the Bente clan have taken the states DG scene by storm the last few years. They play every weekend, traveling to events all over the state, supporting local clubs, businesses, TD’s and causes along the way. All this on top of winning EVERYTHING and being great humans too.

As we all know, there are costs to travel, especially with an entourage like theirs. We are going to help offset costs and let young Henry know wholeheartedly that his city is behind him in his endeavors.

And i just gotta add this, young Robert Burridge was last years winner. How awesome will it be to have two TEXAS winners back to back !!??!!!


DETAILS:
When you register for “Farewell ForEvergreen”, $5 from each entry will go to the Bente cause. Additionally, theres a spot to donate a few $ if you so choose.

BENEFIT WAFFLE:
Expect details very soon from Johnathan Bente and Steve Stanley, as they will be running a HUGE waffle for the same cause.
Expect a basket, several DG bags, discs and all sorts of frisbee related items donated by the Bentes themselves and local supporters.

Short version, the Bentes are awesome folks. Henry is a great kid and an EXTREMELY talented player. If you so choose, heres an opportunity to support him and help chase a dream !!

LETS GO BENTES !!!!!!!
