The Maricopa Lions Club drew a record 128 golfers for its annual golf scramble at The Duke at Rancho El Dorado Saturday. Sponsors also lined up to help support the event, which benefited an array of charitable causes. That includes the Against Abuse shelter, F.O.R. Maricopa Food Bank, Feed My Starving Children, vision testing and hearing aids, Relay for Life and more. Electrical District 3 again made its “cherry picker” available for a ball drop, which saw hundreds of numbered golf balls dropped and the winner determined by which ball was nearest a colored golf ball. The winner received hall the proceeds of ticket sales for the ball drop, while the other half went to Lions’ projects.
