🌟 A landmark moment for the 5th Annual Golf Classic Fundraising Tournament 🌟

We are honored to recognize Chick-fil-A as our Signature Sponsor: the most significant partnership in this tournament's history.

Chick-fil-A's extraordinary generosity is opening life-changing doors for RGV students. A scholarship can turn a dream into an engineering degree, a nursing license, or a business plan. It can shape a career, a family's trajectory, and the Rio Grande Valley for years to come.

As a brand built on hospitality, community, and giving back, Chick-fil-A has long been a trusted presence across the Rio Grande Valley, and this partnership reflects that same spirit of service, now extended to the students and future leaders of our community.

Thank you, Chick-fil-A, for driving this tournament forward. ⛳
