Ice Bowl disc golf tournament to be held Jan. 25 in Huckleberry Park will benefit Buddy Pack program

HANNIBAL, Mo. — The 19th annual Ice Bowl disc golf tournament, sponsored by the Hannibal Parks and Recreation Department, is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 25, at the Don Crane Disc Golf Course in Huckleberry Park.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. with tee-off scheduled for 10 a.m. Two rounds of 18 holes will be played. The fee of $10 will be given to the Buddy Pack program. Prizes have been donated by Excitement Disc Golf.

The Buddy Pack program benefits more than 400 Hannibal schoolchildren each week. The program allows children to take home backpacks full of free food each Friday. The backpacks are full of juice, soup, cereal, peanut butter and other simple staples. The goal is to make sure low-income children stay fed, healthy and productive.

The Ice Bowl mission is to increase local awareness of disc golf by raising funds for local and regional charities with an emphasis on fighting food insecurity.

Participants are encouraged to bring canned goods to the tournament as well.
