Wichita Collegiate Alumni Golf Classic, by Lisa Schooler

The Wichita Collegiate Alumni Golf Classic started in 2000, the same year I began working in the Development Office.  The WCS Alumni Board has since changed the name to the WICHITA COLLEGIATE GOLF CLASSIC to ensure that all know they are invited to play in our tournament. 

This tournament is our largest fundraiser every year.  All proceeds of the tournament go to the Alumni Endowment Fund which helps support the tuition assistance program for current WCS students.  We have amazing, loyal sponsors to help make this tournament happen every year, not to forget the golf committee, which typically consists of WCS alumni board members and their tireless efforts to put the whole tournament together.    

The tournament venues have been at the following courses:  Willowbend, Tallgrass, Wichita Country Club, and this year the tournament was at hosted at the Crestview Country Club on Monday, October 21^st..

 We changed things up a bit this year by starting the tournament at noon, we added a small silent auction, and introduced a new KRANK contest. 

Although the final numbers are not all in we are happy to report that we beat our goal of 100 players and it looks like we are going to have the largest contribution to the Alumni Endowment in 14 years. 

Thank you again to all the sponsors and volunteers that have made this tournament a success
