On December 3rd, 2016 ARCHway Institute, TROSA, and The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Sunshine Rotary Club put on a Charity Helicopter Golf Ball Drop. We had a fantastic time and raised about $9,500 before expenses. This money will be used in both North Carolina and nationally for scholarships to help individuals get into a recovery program that currently cannot because of financial barriers.

Watch the video of the drop:
