Business teams get early discount to September 19 event

Sign Up Now for WNC Golf Tourney

Western Nevada College's 11th annual WNC/Greater Nevada Credit Union Golf Classic fund-raiser is gearing up with early registration and a discount for business teams that sign up before June 30. The WNC Foundation event is Friday, Sept. 19, at the Eagle Valley West course. All proceeds will benefit special projects at the college.

WNC Vice President of Development and External Affairs Helaine Jesse said the tournament has become a tradition with many golfers who return year after year. "Having fun is almost guaranteed," she said. "The scramble format ensures even duffers will do well."

Entrants will have a chance to win tee prizes as well as gifts for longest drive and closest to the pin. The grand prize is free golf every month for a year for a lucky foursome. A hole-in-one in the right par three earns a free car.

Participants will enjoy a continental breakfast, on-course refreshments, and an awards barbecue emceed by KRNV-TV Sports Director Brian Samudio. This year's tournament will have a maximum of 36 teams, and will tee off in a shotgun start at 9 a.m.

Sponsorship opportunities include featuring the organization's name in the event program, banners at the events sponsored, event announcements and promotional materials. Donations are also being sought, including raffle items and door prizes.

Entry fee is $800 for business teams and $150 for individual golfers. To sign up, sponsor, or donate, call the WNC Foundation at 775-445-3240.
