Summary

The second BIRHC benefit golf tournament took place on August 14, 2010, with 60 players paying $75 and proceeds directed to the Rural Health Center. The forum follow-up reported more than $8,000 raised at press time; the later September Beacon reported more than $7,600.

Evidence limits

The event and player count are supported by both the BIRHC forum communication and the newspaper. The two proceeds figures are not treated as a resolved contradiction: they may reflect different reporting dates, gross/net treatment, or a correction, but no ledger in the held sources settles that question.

Advance notice gives the August 14 date, $75 entry, meal and prize structure; the BIRHC follow-up says 60 people paid $75 and that more than $8,000 had been raised at press time. The forum amount differs from the later Beacon figure of more than $7,600; both are retained as time-specific reports rather than reconciled without a financial ledger.

The Health Center follow-up says the August 14 tournament raised more than $8,000 at press time and had 60 paid players. It is a named institutional account, but the later Beacon report gives a different more-than-$7,600 figure; neither is treated as an audited financial statement.
