Breckenridge Texan

The Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce will host its annual Scholarship Golf Tournament in memory of Johnny Bates on Saturday, Sept. 11, at the Breckenridge Country Club.

All net proceeds will be used for scholarships for the Breckenridge High School Class of 2022. Last year, six students received $1,000 scholarships from the Chamber.

Entry fees will be $120 per two-person team. Each team will receive an event golf towel and a complimentary lunch. There will be a 100 percent payout, less Country Club fees. Click here to register online or visit the Chamber office at 100 E. Elm St. to register in person.

Tee times will be at 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., and lunch will be served at noon.

In addition to the 18-hole scramble, there will be door prizes, a longest drive contest, a closest to the pin contest and a ball drop raffle. Tickets for the raffle cost $5 per ticket, and they are on sale at the Chamber office, 100 E. Elm. The winner will receive a  $500 Visa Gift Card donated by Campbell Farm & Ranch.

The Chamber is also accepting sponsors for the tournament. All sponsors will be listed on the event golf towels, as well as on the Chamber’s Facebook page.

Sponsorship levels include:

• Supporting Sponsor – $150
• Corporate Sponsor – $350
• “Hole” Package Sponsor – $1,000
