Ultra-Exclusive Cascata Golf Club To Host University of Southern Nevada Scholarship Golf Tournament
(Henderson, Nev.) – The University of Southern Nevada (USN), a private, non-profit university, will hold its Eighth Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament on Monday, Dec. 3, at the elite Cascata Golf Club in Boulder City, Nev.
The event will begin with registration and a continental breakfast at 6:30 a.m. and the scramble commences with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. A luncheon and raffle will be held following the tournament. To further benefit the university and its programs, several sponsorship opportunities are available.
“Our annual scholarship golf tournament continues to raise funds to support scholarships for our exceptional pharmacy, nursing and MBA students,” said USN Founder and President Dr. Harry Rosenberg. “This year’s tournament provides a great opportunity for local professionals to play the exclusive Cascata Golf Club while supporting our students.”
Designed by renowned golf course architect Rees Jones, Cascata Golf Club opened in 2000 and is already celebrated as one of the finest designs in the world, offering the ultimate in privacy, luxury and uncompromising service. Cascata, Italian for “waterfall,” is aptly named. A 418-foot waterfall flows from the steep mountainside, tumbling over mammoth boulders, cascading into a river that roars through the clubhouse, eventually culminating in a tranquil stream. Sports Illustrated has named Cascata Golf Club "golf’s hidden treasure."
Single golfer and golf foursomes are available. Participants in the golf tournament will receive a gift valued at $200. Each foursome will be guided through eight miles of spectacular fairway by a caddy.
Co-chairing the USN Scholarship Golf Tournament is Shana Dahan, group benefits broker and director of marketing and public relations for Orgill/Singer & Associates and the Hotel at Mt. Charleston and Herb Hunter, general sales manager for EMBARQ. The event is sponsored by Cox Communications and Greenspun Media Group.
To make reservations or for more information on tournament sponsorship and advertising opportunities, contact Barbara Wood, director of university relations, at 702-968-2055. Please note that space is limited.
