Thursday October 28th * 9:00 AM – Course opens at 7:30 AM
Tee up for a good cause–protecting and preserving Franklin County PA!
Join the citizen-action group StopTransource PA, for a golf fundraiser at the Founder’s Course of Penn National Golf Course with beautiful views of South Mountain in Franklin County PA.
Help StopTransource PA as they come together again to raise the remaining funds to pay off legal costs to oppose the unwarranted Transource energy project at the Pennsylvania Utility Commission (PUC). The PUC did not approve the project and removed Transource PA’s utility license!
Fee is $100 per golfer; bring a friend and enjoy the award-winning golf course that presidents played again and again.

The Transource project did not bring energy to those without.
The project was about market efficiency–a project that might allow the purchase of cheaper power–no guarantees.
The 13-story powerlines would have spanned nearly 30 miles of prime farmland in Franklin County PA for the possibility of pennies-cheaper power in the DC market and using a no-more efficient or safe power delivery system.
It is easy to see why Franklin County citizens, agriculture, tourism, economic development, and real estate opposed the project as did County of Franklin because it simply did not make sense!
Bring your clubs and tee up for a great cause–protecting and preserving Franklin County PA. Donations gladly accepted, too!
