Western New Mexico University alumni will be teeing up for the fifth consecutive golf tournament, hoping to raise thousands of dollars for student scholarships.
The fifth annual Alumni Scholarship Golf Tournament will take place on Friday, September 30 during Homecoming weekend. More than 120 golfers participated in 2015 and more than $77,000 has been raised in the previous four events.
Monies raised benefit the Earn To Learn Scholarship, helping students find jobs on campus, and the general scholarship fund.
Interested golfers can register for $125 individually or as a foursome at $400. Fees include greens, tee prize, golf car, range balls, refreshments, complimentary breakfast, and attendance to the awards luncheon hosted by Burger Time.
Area businesses can support the event through a tee-sign sponsorship ranging from $75 to $125. In addition, raffle tickets for a seven-day cruise for two with Royal Caribbean, or a seven-day Cancun resort vacation for two are being sold at the Alumni Affairs Office in Hunter Hall.
Shotgun start time is 8:30 a.m. at the Silver City Golf Course. To register for the event, or to sponsor a tee sign, contact 575-538-6675 or visit alumni.wnmu.edu.
