The tournament begins at 9 a.m. The cost is $150 per player, $550 per four-player team or $850 for a business team sponsorship. Lunch for a non-golfing guest is $30.

Participants entry fees help strengthen workforce development in the Sierra Region. The tournament provides businesses and golfers the chance to help WNC students pursue degrees and certifications, as well as showcase their own company and enjoy the excitement and camaraderie of competing in a team format.

There are different ways and levels that businesses can sponsor the event. For businesses that sponsor a team, their company name will appear on the event banner and program, theyll be recognized at the BBQ, theyll receive two tee signs and a spot for a quartet of players in the tournament.
