Headway Gears Up for its Golf Tournament Fundraiser

About 17 or 18 groups are signed up to participate, according to Melissa Panszi-Riebe, community relations coordinator for Headway. And with a foursome entry running at $520, Headway stands to take in a nice chunk of change to keep its programs running.
