Ray Shirk's Big Swing Golf Tournament and Silent Auction is set for Monday, Oct. 2, at 12:30 p.m. at the Iron Valley Golf Club, 201 Iron Valley Drive, Lebanon. Proceeds will benefit VisionCorps, the Lancaster Science Factory, and the Joshua Montpetit Foundation.

A silent auction will be held along with the golf tournament, and donations of goods and services are sought. To offer a donation, contact Lisa Shirk at 717-875-1516.

The golf tournament, one of VisionCorps' fundraisers since 2013, was established by Lisa Shirk, a former VisionCorps Foundation trustee, in memory of her husband, Ray.

Ray was a businessman, entrepreneur and visionary. He was the founder and CEO of the Securus Group, a multifaceted insurance firm that was named among the Best Places to Work in PA in 2008 and 2011. Lisa started the golf tournament to honor Ray's love of golf and the local organizations he cared about. It is now an annual event. Lisa noted that she and Ray appreciated the help their grandson received from VisionCorps.
