Tee off was at 1 p.m. with 24 teams all competing for various prizes including a Taylor Made golf bag and two Ping putters.   Following the round of golf, players were treated to a fabulous buffet meal including barbeque, and all the fixings.   Before and after the meal, players were able to socialize and build strong connections with the College of Business.

After dinner an auction was held.  A few auctioned prizes included a gift certificate to any of the Cliff’s golf resorts, with a retail value of $700, and a gift certificate to Piper Glen worth $480.  The auction was held to raise funds to support College of Business Scholarships.    These Scholarships are given each year to students who display outstanding academic performance. 

The College of Business hardily thanks all our sponsors and donors for making this event a success and looks forward to a great turn-out next year.  The sponsors for this event were:  Harrah’s Cherokee Casino & Hotel, Chase Real Estate Services, Nevada Bob’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Interior Systems, Inc., Steve White Motors, Inc., Scott & Stringfellow, Piedmont Pharmaceuticals, LLC, AT&T, Aspen Real Estate, USA REIS, BB&T, Champion Credit Union, McKim & Creed, and Stewart Engineering.  In addition, golf certificates were donated by the following well-known golf resorts: Etowah Valley, Grassy Creek, Maggie Valley Club, Piper Glen, Rock Barn, The Cliffs, Cedarwood and Grande Dunes.
