What's Happening in Grand Blanc, MI…

The Ally Challenge presented by McLaren will recognize service personnel during its annual Folds of Honor Friday program.

The event is designed to unite spectators, tournament participants, sponsors, and volunteers while raising awareness of the sacrifices made by those who serve their communities and the nation.

The day's schedule will feature a breakfast program with speaker Wesley Bauguess. She will share a memoir of her family's journey following the loss of her husband, Major Larry Bauguess. Activities will also involve an opening ceremony, the playing of the national anthem, an honorary ceremonial tee shot, and the opening round of the competition. Evening events include a performance by the Patriot Parachute Team followed by a concert featuring Wildflowers at the 17th hole entertainment area.

Guests are asked to wear white, red, and blue as a sign of appreciation for military personnel and emergency responders. Official folds of honor ribbon pins will be distributed throughout the day, while a silent auction offers participants the opportunity to bid on a tandem parachute jump benefiting the charitable initiative.

Complimentary admission is available to eligible members of the U.S. Armed Forces, veterans and qualifying law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency medical services personnel. General admission grounds tickets are $125 per person, including breakfast event access and Friday tournament admission.

Organizers often use banner printing to highlight the various service organizations at events such as this one.

The events will be on Friday, August 28 starting with registration at 8:30 am. The location will be the Warwick Hills Golf Club, 9057 South Saginaw Street, Grand Blanc.
