The Friends for the Dearborn Animal Shelter announced its 17th annual Critter Invitational Golf Outing takes place on Monday, June 7th. New this year, golfers will be able to choose which course they prefer to play in support of homeless animals while enjoying a round of golf.

The options include the Jack Nicklaus designed private TPC of Michigan or the four star public course, Dearborn Hills. It is a best ball scramble format on both courses. 

“Offering the Outing on two courses this year gives supporters a chance to choose which one suits their skill level and wallets best,” said Elaine Greene, executive director of the Dearborn Animal Shelter.

The festivities include 18 holes of golf, cart, dinner and cocktails, silent and live auctions and all the usual Outing goodies. All participants begin at Dearborn Hills for registration and TPC golfers are then shuttled to their course. Dinner and auctions take place at Dearborn Hills for all golfers.

Some Detroit sports celebrities are expected to join in the day to lend their “paws” in support of the Dearborn Animal Shelter. Detroit Lions quarterback Drew Stanton and long-snapper Don Muhlbach, as well as Detroit Tigers great Dan Petry, are among the sports figures scheduled to attend. The event is emceed and chaired by WJBK Fox 2 sports director Dan Miller for the fifth consecutive year.

Golf packages are $300 per golfer at the TPC (11am start) and $150 per golfer at Dearborn Hills (noon start). Non-golfers can share in the fun by purchasing tickets to the Critter dinner for $75 each. Sponsorships are still available as well, ranging from $250 to $5,000 offering sponsorship visibility on both courses. More information is available on-line at www.DearbornAnimals.org
