Cook Memorial tourney benefits Waves 4 K.I.D.S.
The Phillip A Cook Memorial Golf Tournament is the Monday after The Masters (April 9) at Oak Island Golf Club. This event is organized by Steve and Chad Cook of The Island Way Restaurant, Oak Island, to honor their father, Phillip A. Cook, who died tragically in 2007.
Cook believed in helping any child at any time in any way he could. So the brothers are donating all proceeds of the event, in their father’s name, to Waves 4 K.I.D.S. Waves is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing for the unmet need of more than 1,600 children in Brunswick County Foster Care & Child Protection Services.
