MARKSVILLE, LA – The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana, in partnership with the United Way of Central Louisiana and Paragon Casino Resort, will host the annual Hit for Hope Golf Tournament. This year’s event will be held on Monday, June 24, 2024, at the Tamahka Trails Golf Club at Paragon Casino Resort.
Proceeds from the tournament will benefit asset limited, income constrained and employed (ALICE) programs through United Way of Central Louisiana. These programs support working-class families who may struggle to afford essential needs such as childcare, housing, food, and healthcare.
“The Hit for Hope Golf Tournament exemplifies the spirit of unity and collaboration within our community,” said Marshall Pierite, Chairman of the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana. “We are honored to partner with United Way of Central Louisiana to support the ALICE programs, which provide crucial assistance to working families facing financial challenges. We look forward to a successful event that not only brings people together, but also makes a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need.”
The 18-hole golf tournament will begin with registration at 8:00am, followed by a shotgun start at 9:00am. Representatives from the tribe, Paragon Casino Resort, and United Way of Central Louisiana, as well as local leaders, will attend the event.
“We are grateful for the continued support from the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe and Paragon Casino Resort, and we look forward to another successful tournament,” said Michelle Purl, President and CEO of United Way of Central Louisiana. “The funds raised will directly impact the ALICE programs, ensuring that families in Central Louisiana have access to the resources they need to thrive.”
