Proceeds from the 2007 tournament assisted NEWWA's satellite training facilities and the scholarship fund. Funds raised in 2008 will enable the association to expand its programs as well as the space necessary to provide these programs, so the association can continue to effectively meet the demands of its membership and uphold its commitment to drinking water excellence.
This year's golf classic will continue the popular format of a single afternoon, individual-ball tournament. The registration fee includes lunch, dinner, greens fees, a cart, and prizes.
