February 16 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
- This event has passed.
The Genetti Hotel will be transformed into a mini-golf course 1-5 PM, Sunday, February 16 for the 8th annual Williamsport Rotary Indoor Mini-Golf Classic. The course is open to all members of the family ages 5 to 95. Golf clubs are provided, but you are welcome to bring your own putter. A basket raffle with items from businesses in the community offers an additional opportunity to support the event.
The entire first floor and ballroom of the Genetti Hotel will be transformed into a uniquely designed and decorated 18 hole course. Special holes include a Plinko game, the Operation game (with life-size patient), and Ski Ball. The 18th hole features a hole-in-one contest where the winner will receive $500. Greens fees are $10 for adults, $5 for students, and $30 for a party of 4.
Marc Schefsky has been named the Honorary Chairman of this year’s Rotary Mini-Golf Classic. While manager of the Genetti, he had the vision to transform the first floor into a mini-golf course fundraiser to support the Williamsport Rotary Club. Thanks to his hard work and leadership, the event has now grown into a full 18-hole course. An active community volunteer and lifelong golfer, Marc was diagnosed with ALS, Lou Gehrig’s Disease, in 2022. While the disease has slowed him down, it has not interfered with his activism and commitment to serve the community as he encourages others to donate, advocate, and volunteer for the ALS cause. A portion of every admission will be donated to fund ALS research and support.
Each hole is sponsored by local businesses or individuals. This year’s sponsors include PDC Spas, Crockett Financial Services, Geisinger, UPMC, Anthony H. Visco Jr. Architects, Intrada Technologies, Woodlands Bank, Journey Bank, Palco FCU, First National Bank, McNerney Vanderlin Page and Hall, Crooked Goose, Backyard Broadcasting, Renewal by Anderson, DBB, and our host Genetti Hotel & Suites.
Proceeds from the Classic support a wide variety of organizations. Locally, the Rotary supports dictionaries for third graders, a perennial garden in Brandon Park, sponsor of the “First Friday for Kids” event, the Cochran all-access playground, Loyalsock High School – Interact Club, a coat drive for the Salvation Army, and the Junior Rotarian Program where outstanding students from local schools are recognized.
