Bill Myers, Chair for the Fort Bend County Y’s Golf Committee, announced in January that Fort Bend Toyota and Sterling McCall Lexus have signed on as the Signature Sponsors for the 2012 Y Spring Golf Classic. This year’s tournament will be held at Pecan Grove Country Club on Monday, March 26 with a shot-gun start at 11:30 a.m. Mike Shaw, Fort Bend Toyota General Manager and Co-Event Sponsor, states, “We are so proud to be a partner with the YMCA on this tournament because we know the positive impact that the YMCA is having on our community.”
All proceeds will go to the 2012 Partners Campaign fund of the YMCAs of Fort Bend County, which includes the Fort Bend Family YMCA in Missouri City, the T.W. Davis YMCA in Richmond and the Katy YMCA. Combined, the three YMCA Partners program funds will scholarship or subsidize over 3300 youth, families and individuals in character building YMCA programs, outreach, activities and memberships.
The Y Spring Golf Classic includes a best ball scramble format and on-course competitions such as closest to the pin, longest drive, and a putting contest. The tournament also includes a chance to win a $500 cash prize at a designated hole through the annual “Hit the Green Contest”. The event will include a fantastic lunch donated by Macaroni Grill and a delicious BBQ dinner donated by Swinging Door BBQ. In addition, golfers will enjoy complimentary on-course beverages and snacks during the course play. Each golfer will receive great goodie bags that include a shirt, balls, snacks and green fees for four future rounds of golf at designated area Arnold Palmer Courses.
During the dinner and awards ceremony, golfers can participate in both a silent and live auction to benefit the Fort Bend Area YMCAs Partners Campaigns. The live auction will be led by County Treasurer Jeff Council.
Sponsorships are available. Joey Dupuis, Sterling McCall Lexus General Manager and Co-Event Sponsor, stated, “We would like to call upon the generosity of our fellow Fort Bend County businesses to join us in supporting the YMCA’s community efforts through this year’s tournament.” Visit www.ymcahouston.org.
