Golf outing, ball drop to benefit Agape

GREENFIELD – Agape therapeutic horse riding will have a benefit golf fundraiser June 6 in Fishers, alongside a helicopter ball drop where every ball purchased represents one lesson for a student.

Par for the Horse begins at 11 a.m. at River Glen Country Club, 12010 Clubhouse Drive, Fishers. Register at agaperiding.org/golf. Indiana Search & Rescue will fly a restored Vietnam era helicopter over the chipping green at the conclusion of the event and the goal is for 600 golf balls to be dropped, with proceeds going toward lessons. The closest three balls to the hole win cash prizes. To purchase a ball, visit agaperiding.org/ball-drop.
