Golf for the gold

The 11th annual PTSA Red  & White Golf Classic will be held June 4th, 2008 at Reston National Golf Course. The proceeds of the outing go to the PTSA to support the educational needs for students, teachers, and administrators. It also helps raise money for student scholarships, finance programs, and other beneficial programs. This is normally the major fundraiser for the PTSA. The money is raised by people and companies who buy groups of four for the tournament to play golf.
    The outing includes one round of golf, breakfast, lunch, and a raffle for great items. “The golf outing makes money off of our many corporate sponsors as well as individual participants. The money goes towards helping the students at Annandale High School. There is no better cause then this,” said tournament chairmnan Chris Knoche who is in his third year chairing the event.
    There are various levels of sponsorship, ranging from $150 to $1,000 in price. The sponsors get benefits such as recognition at the holes during the outing, recognition at the awards banquet, and publicity in the tournament program. Awards go to the  group with the overall best score, and the 2nd place foursome as well. The price for an individual golfer is $125 per player.
    “The outing is the single biggest fundraiser of the year and it is really important for the school. The money goes to the deserving kids at Annandale and to the teachers and administrators,” said Knoche
