Elks Lodge still taking registrations for charity golf tournament
The Elks Lodge’s June 12 golf scramble will raise money for a local child’s wish and other children’s nonprofits, with last year’s event bringing in more than $11,000.
The Los Alamos Elks Lodge #2083 is still taking registrations for an annual charity golf tournament that is meant to turn a summer round into money for children’s causes in Los Alamos County and Northern New Mexico.
The tournament is set for Friday, June 12, with golf beginning at 9 a.m. at the Los Alamos Golf Course, 4250 Diamond Dr. Play will be followed by a luncheon and other festivities at the Elks Lodge, 1601 Trinity Dr. The event is a 4-person scramble, and registration is $130 per player or $520 per team. That price includes entry into the scramble, greens fees, a golf cart and lunch.
The fundraiser has become a familiar part of the lodge’s calendar because of where the money goes. Proceeds are slated to fund a local child’s wish through Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Mexico, with any additional funds directed to the Los Alamos Family Council, UNM Children’s Hospital and other nonprofit organizations serving children in Los Alamos County and the surrounding Northern New Mexico communities.
That community payoff gives the tournament a significance that goes beyond the golf course. A March and April update said last year’s tournament raised more than $11,000, and earlier coverage of the 2024 outing put the total at $10,000, including an $8,000 donation to Make-A-Wish New Mexico. Those figures suggest the Elks event has been operating at a five-figure fundraising level, enough to make it a meaningful annual boost for local and regional youth services.
The tournament has also grown in scale. An earlier report said the event expanded to 18 holes in 2024, underscoring how the lodge has kept the format fresh while keeping the focus on a local charity drive. The structure is straightforward: a morning scramble at the county course, then lunch and social time at the lodge on Trinity Drive.
For residents looking for a way to support a local cause without leaving town, the tournament keeps both the spending and the charitable return in Los Alamos. Sign-ups remain open as the June 12 event approaches, and the lodge is banking on another turnout strong enough to send more money to children and nonprofits close to home.
