The Creative Corridors Coalition is holding a golf tournament to raise money for enhancements to Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in conjunction with the upcoming renovation of Business 40.

The Creative Corridors is a volunteer nonprofit organization whose goal is to enhance the improvements that are planned for the highway and the streets around it so they‘ll capture Winston-Salem’s devotion to arts, culture and innovation.

Renovations are expected to close a portion of Business 40 that runs through downtown for more than a year starting in November. The renovations will include replacing the 11 bridges that pass over the highway.

Those enhancements include a portion of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive that runs through East Winston to the Business 40 bridge. The Creative Corridors Coalition Golf Tournament will raise additional funds for local art pieces, story boards and historical markers along that corridor.

The tournament will be held Friday, Oct. 19, at the Winston Lake Golf Course, 3535 Winston Lake Road. Registration is 11 a.m. with a shotgun start at noon. The tournament is $75 per person and $250 for a team of four. Registration information can be found at creativecorridors.org under  “News & Events.” Deadline for registration is Oct. 1.

Creative Corridors is also looking for sponsors for the tournament, which can sponsor individual holes or the entire event. Sponsorship inquires can be made to Golf4CCC@gmail.com.
