Player sign-ups, event sponsorships and raffle prize donations are underway for the 15th annual Western Nevada Golf Classic.
The annual fundraiser tees off on Friday, Sept. 27, at Eagle Valley West Golf Course in Carson City. The event provides valuable assistance to students and programs at WNC.
“The tournament offers a great day of golf and camaraderie for a good cause,” said WNC Foundation Director Katie Leao. “I’m looking forward to seeing a strong turnout.”
The 18-hole tournament will feature a four-person best-ball format, with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. Teams of four players can sign up for $500, and businesses also can combine a sponsorship and team entry for $700. Cost is $125 for individuals.
Tournament business sponsors currently include Greater Nevada Credit Union, Carson Tahoe Health System and Lumos & Associates. Additional sponsorships also are available.
Players will enjoy raffle and tee prizes, a barbecue and awards ceremony, hole-in-one prizes, a margarita hole, on-course refreshments, a poker run, team photos and more.
Two par-3 holes will feature a new car/cash prize sponsored by Dick Campagni’s Capital Ford. Anyone who aces one of these holes will have the choice of $10,000 cash or money toward the purchase of a new vehicle.
Entries and sponsorships are being accepted until Sept. 6. Register online at www.wnc.edu/foundation. For more information or to sponsor or donate a raffle prize or participate, contact the WNC Foundation Office at 775-445-3240 or email Katie.leao@wnc.edu.
