The Formosa United Way Charity Golf Tournament held October 1-2, 2021 is one of the largest contributors for our community. Despite the rainy start and stormy forecast that kicked off this year's tourament, 127 teams came out to support and participate in the tournament. This singular event has largely contributed to the campaign goals in years past for Calhoun & Victoria Counties; $300,000 in 2019 and 2020 each. On average, this means the Formosa Charity Golf Tournament has the ability to assist over 7,000 people, each year in Calhoun County plus assisting about 10,000 in the Victoria Crossroads Area through programs and services that fight for the health, education, and financial stability of everyone in these communities.
