The Three Rivers Endowment Trust will host its Eighth Annual Golf Tournament on Friday, June 11, at Westwood Hills Country Club in Poplar Bluff. The four-person scramble tournament will begin with check in and lunch at noon, followed by a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Following the tournament, there will be a cocktail reception from 5:30-7:30 p.m., which will include a shrimp boil. The evening reception is open to the public.
“We’re excited to gear up again for another great day of fun, good golf, and helping to support Three Rivers and its students,” said Michelle Reynolds, Director of Development for Three Rivers College. “Thanks to the support of our community, this has become one of our longest-running events, and we’ve raised thousands of dollars to help Three Rivers build futures in our region.”
New this year, a golf ball drop will be held to raise funds. Attendees may purchase golf balls assigned random numbers. The numbered golf balls will be dropped from the ladder of a fire truck and the first golf ball in the hole, or the ball closest to the hole, wins its owner half of the pot.
All proceeds will go to benefit the Three Rivers Annual Fund, which funds special projects and helps make a difference in the lives of TRC students. The Fund allows Three Rivers to continue in its mission while allowing the College the financial flexibility to pursue important projects and new initiatives as they arise.
Registration is open for both participants and sponsors. Player registration is $135 for individuals and $550 for teams and includes contest packages. Individuals and organizations are invited to sponsor the event at one of four participation levels. Sponsoring a single hole is $100, silver-level event sponsorship is $250, gold sponsorships are $500 and platinum sponsorship is $1,000.
