 Golf Tournament benefit for Project Grad     
 

~SAVE THE DATE~

Friday, February 7, 2014

Attention CDO Parents/Business Owners;

 

We are still in need of more golfers for the Oro Valley Cup Golf Tournament on  Friday, February 7th at the Hilton El Conquistador Country Club.

The Oro Valley Cup is the ONE and ONLY MAJOR fundraiser for the Project Graduation night held at all three Amphi high schools.

 

The cost is $150 per person or $600 per foursome.  If you want to golf but can't get a foursome together, we will be pairing folks up to at least make a three person team.

AND-----approximately $75 of the fee is tax deductible!  Your fee includes a sandwich lunch and a nice dinner. We'll have raffle and silent auction items that day too!

 

It's not too late to sign up.  Go to www.ovcup.com to complete the registration fee online or you can email

Greg Fitzgerald at 544-9390 or ovcup@yahoo.com.

 

If you can't be there for the golf fun and own a business, consider making a donation.  Holes sponsorships are $150 for one course or $300 for two.

 

It's a great way to support ALL of our Amphi senior students and enjoy the great Tucson weather!
