A moment for our winners!

It was a chilly, windy day on the course, but our teams bundled up and made the most of it for a great cause. This year’s tournament featured two flights, along with closest-to-the-pin and longest-drive contests, giving our players plenty of opportunities to show off their skills.

Congratulations to our flight winners and contest hole winners! We appreciate the competitive spirit, sportsmanship, and enthusiasm each team brought to the course.

While we love celebrating our winners, the real success of the day was everyone coming together in support of Kenleigh and Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. We are grateful to every team that participated and helped make this year’s tournament a success.

Today, members of the Tunica County Sheriff’s Office gathered, adorned in pink, for our Second Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk around the Sheriff’s Office.

Before taking our steps together, Captain/Chaplain William Smith led us in a word of prayer.

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4

A breast cancer diagnosis can bring someone into a valley they never expected to walk through. The journey can be filled with fear, uncertainty, exhausting treatments, and difficult days. But Psalm 23:4 reminds us that even in our darkest valleys, we are not alone. Our Good Shepherd walks beside us, offering comfort, strength, and hope through every step.

As we walked together today, we did so in honor of those who are fighting, in recognition of survivors, in support of the families and loved ones walking alongside them, and in memory of those we have lost.

May we never underestimate the power of showing up for one another, and may we always remember that no matter the valley, we do not have to walk through it alone. Your Tunica County Sheriff's Office is always here for you. ❤️

What an incredible day for a great cause!

Thanks to the generosity and support of our community during the 11th Annual Tunica County Sheriff’s Office Charity Golf Tournament, we are proud to announce that we raised $13,000 for Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. We were overwhelmed with gratitude when Fitz Casino Tunica stepped up to match our donation.

This is what happens when a community comes together with a shared purpose. We are incredibly thankful to every player, sponsor, donor, volunteer, and supporter who helped make this possible. Your generosity is making a difference in the lives of children and families who need it most.

This year, we were honored to play in support of Kenleigh Hibbler, our own Tunica miracle. We are reminded that behind every dollar raised is a child, a family, and a story that matters. We want children like Kenleigh to have the opportunity to grow up right here alongside us, surrounded by the people and community they call home.

That is what makes Tunica County so special. We show up for one another, we care for our own, and when there is an opportunity to make a difference, we come together.

From all of us at the Tunica County Sheriff’s Office, thank you for helping make our 11th annual tournament one to remember. We are proud of what we accomplished together, and we are grateful to be part of a community that continues to give back in such a meaningful way.

Be on the lookout for more pictures from such a great day!
