Posted on by in Featured and tagged .

EDMOND, OK (09.26.2019) – Petra Industries is excited to announce the 21st annual Hope In One Charity Golf Tournament on Thursday, October 3, 2019.

Since its inception, Hope In One has impacted countless lives thanks to the support of Petra’s giving partners. The Hope In One Charity Golf Tournament draws on support and donations of its many vendor partners in the form of financial contributions, giveaways and more.

Participants gather before the shotgun start.

Hope In One will see participants from all across North America step onto the prestigious greens of Oak Tree Country Club. Over the course of the tournament, players are able to compete in additional games and challenges for a chance to win prizes.

Golfers ready their putts for the Halo game at the 2018 Hope in One Charity Golf Tournament. During Halo, all golfers stand in a circle around the putting green and all putt at the same time. First ball in wins!

But at the center of it all are the organizations chosen to receive the proceeds from the event. Each year, Bill and Cindy Stewart select charities that have a profound impact on the local community to be beneficiaries of Hope In One. This year, proceeds from the Charity Golf Tournament will benefit Whiz Kids of Oklahoma and Mercy Multiplied. Both of these charities work tirelessly so that children and young adults have the skills and resources they need to change their situations and lead successful lives

“With every passing year, Cindy and I are continually humbled by the dedication of our giving partners and the effort Petra team members put in to make the Hope In One Charity Golf Tournament a success,” says Bill Stewart, Petra Industries’ Founder and CEO. “We’re excited to see how Hope In One continues to grow and impact the community. To know that we can enrich the lives of those in need through Whiz Kids of Oklahoma and Mercy Multiplied thanks to our generous, considerate giving partners is incredibly inspiring and very much appreciated.”

Through the years, the Hope In One Charity Golf Tournament has raised over $1 million for local charities—a milestone that was reached in 2018. Hope In One continues to ensure that lives are changed for generations to come.

Petra Industries’ Hope In One Charity Golf Tournament takes place on October 3 at the prestigious Oak Tree Country Club in Edmond, OK.
