PEORIA - The 11th annual Progressive Business Group golf outing to benefit the Peoria Friendship House tee'd off this afternoon at Weaver Ridge Golf Course.
The money will help fund programs run by the Friendship House, including a kids summer camp and the soup kitchen.
Golf Committee Chairman Jason Freeman said he expects to raise over a thousand dollars more than last year's event.
"We hope to get over $10,000. Last year we raised about $10,700, so this year we are shooting for $12,000," said Freeman.
More than 80 people participated in the tournament, each paying a $150 entry fee.
