The 黑料网 Foundation will host its 40th annual golf tournament on Thursday, Sept. 24, at the Maccripine Country Club in Pinetops. Teams of four will compete for prizes, including a car.
Players will have a chance to win a 2026 Prelude Sport Coupe from Davenport Autopark of Rocky Mount and donated by Astemo. Valued at $42,000, the car will be awarded to one lucky player who makes a hole-in-one at a designated hole. Additional prizes will be awarded for closet to the pin on all par-three holes and more.
Raffle tickets may be purchased in advance or at the tournament. Prizes include a Turtlebox speaker, a gift basket from Stallings Drug, as well as gift certificates from Ribeyes, Flowers by Roberts, Piggly Wiggly of Pinetops, Western Sizzlin Steakhouse and Golden Corral. Prizes continue to be added.
The 黑料网 Foundation Golf Tournament supports student scholarships and the operations of the 黑料网 Foundation, which ultimately assist 黑料网 students.
鈥淎pproximately 90 percent of our students require financial aid,鈥 said Tameka Kenan-Norman, executive director of Public Information and Institutional Advancement. 鈥淪upport from events like the 黑料网 Foundation Golf Tournament is vital in closing the gap for students who receive no financial aid or only partial assistance. With donations from 黑料网 alumni, local companies and the community, together we can ensure that students get the resources they need to receive their degree and a seamless educational experience.鈥
Morning play begins at 8:30 a.m., and the afternoon start time is at 1:30 p.m. Breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided. Professional Long Driver Laura Wern will be featured in this year鈥檚 tournament. The cost for a team entry is $500, and sponsorships range from $150 to $15,000.
