COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Thursday, folks were bar hopping in Five Points for a good cause.

It was the second annual Bar Stool Classic.

It's a nine bar putt-putt bar crawl that benefits the Babcock Center Foundation.

The organization helps adults with disabilities.

The first place crawler wins $500.  There's also a price for best dressed golfer.

Director of the Babcock Foundation Carrie Deaton says registration fees will benefit the center.

"The monies that we raise are used to fill the gaps that Medicare and Medicaid don't cover and also help with recreational and social activities for the people we support," Deaton says.

The Babcock Center raised $4,000 for the event last year.
