The 10th Annual The Power to Care
Classic Nets More than $70,000
Now and then the elderly and disabled get in a bind and need
a hand with their electric bills. Funds from a recent golf
tournament hosted by Entergy Arkansas will help pay a lot of
electric bills!
Including the 100 percent Entergy shareholder match, more
than $70,000 was raised at the 10th Annual The Power to
Care Charity Classic golf tournament at the Country Club of
Arkansas in Maumelle recently. Teams of vendors, customers
and employees – each of which donated $500-$1,500 to
participate – drove, chipped and putted for The Power to Care
fund.
Golf tournament chairperson Becky Galloway said, “We’ve got
a really good thing going here. Doing this tournament for nine
years now, we have a loyal following and a lot of enthusiasm
from both returning and new participants. Most importantly,
we’re raising a lot of money for The Power to Care.”
The Power to Care, now in its 31st year, helps elderly and
handicapped individuals pay their energy bills during times of
financial distress. It serves as a lifeline to those in temporary
dire circumstances. Dollar Energy Fund administers the program.

Golf Classic.
