UNITED WAY CHARITY GOLF CLASSIC

(SUNRIVER, Ore.)—The United Way of Deschutes County and Sunriver Resort will host the United Way Charity Golf Classic on Sunday, July 26 at the Resort’s Crosswater Club.

Registration is now open for the shotgun-style tournament, which begins at 12pm and is limited to just 36 foursomes. Cost for a foursome in the tournament is $700, and includes 18 holes of golf at Crosswater with cart, lunch, tee prizes, and a post-golf barbecue and awards ceremony. All proceeds from the tournament will benefit the United Way of Deschutes County.

“Sunriver Resort has a strong history of supporting the United Way of Deschutes County’s mission, and the Charity Golf Classic is a great way for other businesses and individuals to join us in their effort to seek solutions to our community’s most urgent human service problems,” said Tom O’Shea, managing director of Sunriver Resort. “As an added bonus, it gives locals the chance to play Crosswater just three weeks before the PGA Champions Tour’s best golfers tee it up for the JELD-WEN Tradition.”

A variety of sponsorships are also available, including Silver, Bronze and Individual Hole packages. Silver Sponsorships ($2,500) include two foursomes, two hole sponsorships, and the choice of driving range or practice green sponsorship.
