Worth Noting will help you spread the word for your sports-related fundraiser, be it a golf tournament, barbecue, car wash, whatever. We will run these for up to a month in advance to help your cause for a charity, your team, etc.
Also, if your son/daughter or nephew/niece or friend/acquaintance has signed an athletic scholarship, please let us know. It doesn't matter what sport or the size of the college, this is a great accomplishment and is worth noting. These will change every week.
Also, if you made a hole-in-one, bowled a 300 or caught a fish bigger than a sofa, we would love to share that, too. These also will change every week.
Send your info to tloeffler@krcg.com and it will be our pleasure to spread the good word every Wednesday.
