The second annual Iron-Leg charity golf tournament will be held on Saturday, Sept. 10, at Highlands of Donegal Golf Club, 650 Pinkerton Road, Mount Joy. Registration will begin at 10:30 a.m., and the tournament will kick off with a shotgun start at noon.

The event is an opportunity to raise funds for Iron-Leg Corp., a nonprofit founded in 2020 by Matt Millhouse and Sean Laukhuff to benefit children in central Pennsylvania who need prosthetics. The tournament is also held as a memorial to honor the people who lost their lives in the Sept. 11 attacks.

"We will be raising a 38-by-22-foot flag by two cranes," said Laukhuff. The flag ceremony will also include an honor guard of veterans from various branches of the military and the singing of the national anthem by a professional entertainer. Members of the honor guard will also perform a flag-folding ceremony following the tournament. The post-tournament ceremony will include the playing of taps by a bugler.

During the tournament, bagpipe music will be provided to enhance the Scottish atmosphere of the course, Laukhuff noted, adding, "We are bringing in a female Navy pilot who happens to play the bagpipes, and she'll play for about an hour and a half."

Along the course, participants will have opportunities to win prizes at certain holes, with the awards sponsored by Dixon Golf. The tournament will also feature a box lunch for participants, along with heavy hors d'oeuvres, live acoustic music, a silent auction and door prizes.

Last year's inaugural event raised more than $38,000, and Laukhuff has set a lofty goal for this year. "We're hoping to raise $50,000," he said. "Last year's tournament was very well received, and it couldn't have gone any smoother. We're going to make each year bigger and better."
