Samantha Forester, president of the Wichita Falls Area Crime Stoppers board of directors, said hosting it earlier in the year rather than in years past could have contributed to the huge turnout this year.
A massive turnout, which she said will significantly benefit the local crime stoppers organization as a whole.
'Crime Stoppers is an organization we pay out tips for felony crimes. We're not affiliated directly with any law enforcement agency. We're completely separate, which is how we're able to keep anonymity to our people who provide tips. And so with that being said, the money that is raised by this golf tournament and our other fundraisers throughout the year go towards paying out those tips for those crimes,' Forester said.
