Three Flights Of Fun!

Thursday and Friday, Sept. 13 and 14, 2012

The President’s Tourney is the largest single-day fund raising golf event in New Mexico. Last year, the tourney raised more than $170,000 for scholarships at New Mexico Tech.

Since President Dr. Daniel H. Lopez started the event in 1994, the scholarship fund has helped more than 150 students complete their education at New Mexico Tech.

In recent years the tournament has exploded in popularity. President Lopez and the planning committee added a third flight on Thursday to accommodate the ever-increasing demand. More than 300 golfers played in three flights in 2009 and in 2010.

Once again, this VIP Flight will be on Thursday for a more relaxed round of golf.

How Can You Participate? By Becoming a Sponsor!

To help create scholarships for students of New Mexico Tech, President Lopez depends on the generosity of donors who sponsor the event. To sponsor the golf tournament or sponsor a team, choose one of the sponsorship categories from this list.
