Golf tournament to benefit Crime Stoppers sells out

GREENSBORO — The 18th Annual Greensboro/Guilford Crime Stoppers Golf Tournament will take place Monday at Forest Oaks Country Club.

Apparently the tournament is a sellout, and that's a good thing. This golf tournament is the largest fundraiser for the program, which only works off donations.

Coordinator Rebecca "Becky" Fallon said the tournament reached its 32-team limit with 128 players in total, according to the Crime Stoppers website.

The Crime Stoppers program encourages citizens to call 373-1000 and provide information on crimes and criminal activity anonymously . Valid tips that result in the arrest of an individual are eligible for a reward of up to $2,000.

Crime Stoppers is not funded by citizens' tax dollars, police said. Donations must come from private sources.
