Spots are still available for friends and supporters of State Fair Community College Athletics to participate in the sixth annual SFCC Golf Tournament and live auction on July 24 that benefits athletic scholarships. The event will take place at the Sedalia Country Club, 5074 Highway Y.
The three-person scramble costs $90 per person and includes 18 holes of golf, a cart and lunch. Teams have a choice of an 8 a.m. or a 2 p.m. tee time. Mulligans will be available for $15 per team. The prizes for the golf tournament will be Sedalia Country Club Pro Shop credit.
The tournament will be divided into four flights with awards given to the top four teams in each flight based on a full field. The first place winners of each flight will receive $300 in credit; second place $200, third place $150, and fourth place $100.
Businesses and individuals can also purchase hole sponsorships for $100 that include signage tee boxes. Personal contributions in any amount are welcomed and appreciated.
Printable team registration and sponsorship forms are available at sfccmoroadrunners.com/support/golfregistration. Teams may also register online at the same link. Checks should be made payable to the SFCC Foundation. For additional information or assistance, call SFCC Athletics at (660) 596-7232.
A new feature for the event is a live auction that will start 45 minutes after the 2 p.m. round finishes.
“The coaches are collecting items for the auction, and the proceeds from their items will go to their sport’s scholarship fund,” said Darren Pannier, athletic director. Anyone who wants to donate items for the live auction can contact me at dpannier@sfccmo.edu or (660) 596-7232. We appreciate the communities support because it enables us to strengthen all of our sports.”
Proceeds can fund general athletic scholarships or can be designated for a specific scholarship such as the Mike Bryson Memorial Scholarship (men and women’s soccer), the Bob Oehrke Memorial Scholarship (women’s basketball), the Kent Gwaltney Memorial Scholarship (men’s basketball), the Ross Dey Memorial Scholarship (baseball), and the Mandy Thomas Memorial Scholarship (softball).
