2012 Calista Golf Classic Tournament
Wednesday, June 20, 2012
Make your first tee off of the summer with us.
Calista Corporation cordially invites you to kick off the summer with the 13th Annual Calista Heritage Foundation Golf Classic Tournament, June 20, 2012 – the first day of the new season – at the Moose Run Golf Course.
We call on you to field a team or become a sponsor. There are many donation levels available for this well-attended event, but there are a limited number of team sponsorships.
The Calista Heritage Foundation awards scholarships to Alaska Native students from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Region. These scholarships enable them to study engineering, business, aviation, medicine and biology to acquire skills they can apply to their communities and society.
Last year, more than $200,000 was raised at the Golf Classic and the proceeds directly benefited over 200 students.
We encourage your continued support for the Golf Classic and look forward to seeing you on the green!
The registration deadline is June 6, but don’t delay – teams fill up fast.
