Three local families were surprised to learn Thursday evening that they are the beneficiaries of this year’s Medical Center Open golf tournament, which raised a record $282,000 to support Habitat for Humanity of Hall County’s mission to provide affordable housing. The 25th annual fundraiser, held at the Chicopee Woods Golf Course, drew big hitters and even bigger donors. The fundraiser has raised some $3.2 million in its quarter century, with 100 percent of proceeds going to support the cause of choice.
