PuttingForPurpose2 The Port of Corpus Christi's annual Putting for a Purpose Golf Tournament with all proceeds benefiting the Mission-Aransas Reserve was held at the North Shore Country Club the last weekend of October. The event raised $10,950 for the Mission-Aransas Reserve. “We are honored to be chosen as the honorees of this year’s tournament. The proceeds from the tournament will help us recover from Hurricane Harvey damages and help us continue to provide research expertise as well as education, training, and stewardship programs to the Coastal Bend region,” said Jace Tunnell, Mission-Aransas Reserve Director.
