On June 14 the Fred Arnold Memorial Charitable Golf Outing will put the gas in the tank of Bluffton American Legion Post 382’s financial support for local organizations. Each year, the Legion makes contributions to local charities and nonprofit organizations–thanks to the support of golfers in June. 

In August 2024, Post 382 gave a total of $6,000 to nine local organizations.

Major sponsors for the 2025 event are Bluffton Paving, Bluffton Stone and Stratton Auto Group.
