The second annual event invites schools, businesses, athletic teams, clubs and organizations to form mini golf teams of four players, choose their preferred hour to golf, register online and raise funds for local BBBS mentoring programs, then join the community on May 19 to Putt 4 Cass. Last year’s event raised more than $25,000 for local programming.

Big Sister Anya Fegal and her "Little" Jayda Witham came out to support the program that brought them together by participating in last year's "Putt 4 Cass" at Gifford's Famous Ice Cream & Mini Golf in Waterville.
