Western Nevada College

  • Toiyabe Golf Club in Washoe Valley is the site of Western Nevada College Foundation’s 2022 Golf for Education tournament.

More than 20 years of providing a fun-filled event has made the Western Nevada College Foundation’s Golf for Education Tournament one that can’t be missed.

The 23rd edition of Golf for Education is set for 9 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 30 at gorgeous Toiyabe Golf Club in Washoe Valley.

By participating in the fundraiser to support workforce development in the Sierra Region, the 18-hole event provides businesses and golfers the chance to help WNC students pursue degrees and certifications, showcase their company, and the excitement and camaraderie of competing in a team format.

Your entry fee into the scramble tournament includes so much more than 18 holes of golf. Participants will be treated to a light breakfast, great tee prizes, hole-in-one and long drive prizes, ample on-course refreshments, raffle prizes, an opportunity to shoot the powerful golf ball cannon, a delicious BBQ, an awards ceremony, team photos, and so much more. 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.

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, they’ll be recognized at the BBQ, they’ll receive two tee signs and a spot for a quartet of players in the tournament.

For entry, sponsorship and volunteer details, phone 775-445-3240 or go to https://www.wnc.edu/foundation/events/golf-for-education/.
