Get ready to hit the astroturf. The annual Par-Tee mini-golf fundraiser is back for its second year, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Warwick is inviting folks to break out the golf clubs once again in support of a good cause.

And best of all? According to Warwick Boys & Girls Clubs CEO Lara D’Antuono, “You don’t have to be great at mini-golf.”

The clubhouse’s full-size gym will house two 9-hole courses for the evening, and catering from the 99 Restaurants will keep the event well-stocked with burgers, hot dogs, ribs, and cocktails. The centerpiece of the night will be the raffle drawing — with only 300 tickets to be sold, the $10,000 cash prize is anyone’s game.

“I think it's a great way for people to get into the club to see what we actually do on a daily basis with the kids, and the facilities that they’re in, and the great impact they have,” D’Antuono told the Beacon.

While the April 24 event is adults-only — alcohol will be served — kids are at the heart of it all. All proceeds from the event will go towards keeping the Boys & Girls Clubs affordable and accessible to local families, who rely on the club centers for childcare, meals and educational programming. While membership for children ages 5 to 18 comes with a small annual fee, scholarship applicants are never turned away, according to D’Antuono.

Raffle entries can be purchased at the event for $100 each — or prior to on the Boys & Girls Clubs website, if you’d like snag one early. Registration for the event starts at $50 each for individuals, while the $150 “Tee for Two” package covers mini-golf for a pair and includes a raffle entry. The $300 “Party of Fore” bundle admits four golfers and includes two raffle entries.

There’s something for everyone, whether you’re looking to get in some company bonding time or simply bringing friends and family along to earn some bragging rights.

“Come as you are,” D’Antuono said. “Stay for two hours, stay for 15 minutes, it’s really your choice. But either way, you’d be helping the 10,000-plus kids we serve every year.”

Holly Ferrara, the event’s planning chair, said that this year’s Par-Tee will be similar to the first one: a “fun, casual, enjoyable evening” where participants can have a good time even if they don’t play mini-golf. There will be one new addition: a silent auction where attendees can bid on artwork, produced by both local artists and the Clubs’ very own child members.

Over the past year, the nonprofit Boys & Girls Clubs has given out everything from Thanksgiving meals to school supplies to local families. Across the Clubs’ three locations, children are given access to a variety of educational opportunities, including cooking classes, a recording studio for learning how to produce podcasts, and a screen-printing machine.

So far, sponsors for this year’s event include Beacon Mutual, Greenwood Credit Union, Navigant Credit Union, Saccoccio & Associates, the Warwick Beacon, Prime Heating, SiteScapes, 99 Restaurants, BankRI, Dave's Marketplace, MicroClean, Sweeney Real Estate & Appraisal, and Domino’s Pizza.

Sponsorships can be purchased online, with the lowest tier starting at $200. Proceeds from the various sponsorship tiers will go towards providing resources for the Boys & Girls Clubs, such as workbooks, snacks, STEAM activities and maintenance for club vans.

The mini golf event tees off on Thursday, April 24 from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., the Par-Tee fundraiser will be held at the Oakland Beach Clubhouse.
