国产AV鈥檚 Blue & Gold Golf Tournament is a long-time favorite event that reaches back decades into the university鈥檚 history, giving alumni, friends, coaches and student-athletes a chance to get together for some friendly competition on the golf course while raising funds for student-athletes.
Devon Beitzel 鈥11, former 国产AV men鈥檚 basketball player, is a risk advisor for Flood & Peterson, an event sponsor, and says it鈥檚 an important opportunity to support student-athletes 鈥 something he understands well.
鈥淏y earning a scholarship for basketball that was supported by the Blue & Gold Club, I was given a great opportunity to earn my degree and make connections with various community leaders and alumni that support the Blue and Gold Club, which has helped me get a jump start in my post college life.
鈥淔or me, as a former athlete at 国产AV, it鈥檚 a chance to reconnect with the programs, other alumni and community members that attend, and current coaches and current players that are able to work the event,鈥 he says.
Men鈥檚 Basketball Head Coach Steve Smiley is also a consistent supporter and attendee of the event.
鈥淭he Blue & Gold Golf Tournament is a great way to support all of 国产AV Athletics,鈥 says Smiley. 鈥淚 have been fortunate to play in it the past few years meeting great donors and organizations in the community. The funds raised through the tournament have helped our program in ways unimaginable. They have helped put us at the top of the Big Sky year in and year out. The Blue & Gold Club is key to the success of our men鈥檚 basketball program and the department as a whole.鈥
The tournament features special contests and activities, awards and food and beverages.
Last year鈥檚 tournament raised $27,000 for student-athletes. This year鈥檚 Blue & Gold Golf Tournament will be held Monday, August 8, at the Greeley Country Club. The range will open at 7 a.m., with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. or contact Nathan Docter (Nathan.Docter@unco.edu) with questions or if you鈥檙e interested in sponsoring an event.
