Northern Kentuckians will soon have an opportunity to play with penguins and other aquatic animals at a charity golf outing.

The WAVE Foundation, a nonprofit located at the Newport Aquarium, is hosting the 11th annual David Fulcher’s Putt for Penguins Celebrity Golf Outing on Monday, June 27 at Wetherington Golf and Country Club in West Chester, Ohio.

Over 30 former professional athletes and local celebrities will be on hand along with Fulcher, a former Cincinnati Bengal, to support the WAVE Foundation. Each foursome will play with a local celebrity.

“Putt for Penguins is a fun event that helps WAVE extend the footprint of, and access to, Newport Aquarium into the community,” said WAVE Foundation Executive Director Tricia Watts. “Sponsorships are available and of course, donations are always welcome and needed.”

Participants will get to meet penguins and other animals from the Newport Aquarium. Drinks and food will be served throughout the golf course. After the outing, an awards ceremony will be held.

Proceeds from Putt for Penguins will go toward the WAVE Foundation. WAVE will use the funds for their local education programs and worldwide conservation efforts.
