The Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to Cox Communications, the tournament’s Presenting Sponsor, for their generous support, as well as to our Community Impact Sponsors: Google, Iowa Western Community College, John Dresher, American National Bank, and Joe Clanton with Better Homes and Gardens.

“We are so thankful to our sponsors and players who make this event a success year after year,” said Bridgette Watson, Executive Director. These funds help bring innovative classroom ideas to life and support students through enrichment and emergency assistance.”

Both of our organizations are working to help students thrive, and that’s only possible through support and partnership. Sponsoring a hole here gives us the chance to connect with the community and inspire more mentors to step up. If you haven’t sponsored a hole yet, you’re missing out—you should go FORE it!”
