The Golf Classic is held in June. Participants will pay an entry fee that goes toward green fees, cart rental, a gift package, tournament prizes, breakfast, lunch, snacks and a dinner after the tournament.
The tournament has six different sponsorship levels ranging from $250 to $5,000. All money raised from this event goes to the Medical Excellence Scholarship fund.
