SNL Financial Sponsors Second Annual Charitable Golf Tournament in Charlottesville
Proceeds from the August 18 event will fund scholarships, purchase equipment and promote a life skills curriculum
Charlottesville, Va. (Aug. 9, 2007) — SNL Financial today announced the Second Annual SNL Charitable Golf Tournament on Aug. 18 at the Meadowcreek Golf Course in Charlottesville's Pen Park. All proceeds benefit The First Tee of Charlottesville, a child development program that teaches core values and life skills through the game of golf.
Last year, SNL raised $7,500 for this charity. This year, the goal is $20,000 to commemorate SNL's 20th anniversary. A portion of the proceeds will fund scholarships for children who cannot afford to participate in the program. The money raised this year will also pay for equipment and buses to transport inner-city children to the Meadowcreek Golf Course, home of The First Tee of Charlottesville.
The Aug. 18 tournament will have two tee-off times: the first at 7:30 a.m. and the second at 1 p.m. Added highlights include a raffle with a top prize of custom-fitted Callaway clubs and accessories valued at $1,000 and a "hole-in-one" prize of a Pontiac G6 Convertible, donated by Colonial Auto Center. The tournament is open to the public with an entry deadline of Aug. 12. For more information, please visit the chapter Web site at www.thefirstteecharlottesville.org .
