The first Matthew Allen Potter Memorial Golf Tournament will be held at Heritage Hills Golf Resort, 2700 Mt. Rose Ave., York, Thursday, Sept. 19. Proceeds from the event will be donated to Leg Up Farm in York County and the Performing Arts for Children.

The four-person scramble will be limited to the first 36 teams or 144 individual golfers to register.
