Green Fever golf tournament helps fund grants for Nebo Schools

- By Lana Hiskey

The seventeent­h annual “Green Fever” benefit golf tournament was recently held at the Hobble Creek Golf Course in Springvill­e.

The Nebo Education Foundation made enough to fund teacher grants this year. All profits from the tourna- ment go directly to benefit children and classrooms in Nebo School District.

“The ‘Green Fever’ golf tournament was a huge suc- cess!” said Craig Shields, foundation board member and co-golf organizer.

“This tournament is a great way to help our children and our business partners enjoy a beautiful fall golf game.”

Tournament sponsorshi­ps range from $1,200 to $150. Donations of products, gift certificat­es, merchandis­e and services or monetary donations were given by generous businesses and communitie­s.

The tournament has al- ways filled weeks before the tournament.

Chad Lewis, pro football player and BYU Associate Athletic Director, was the celebrity welcoming each golfer.

Lewis sponsored a “Buy the Pro Shot” on the #10 hole where all teams bought his shot for $20 except one.

The Nebo Education Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 organizati­on created to bring businesses, donors and volunteers together for the benefit of local public school children.

The foundation conscien- tiously manages and dispers- es tax-deductible donations to local schools in the form of scholarshi­ps, financial grants, equipment and sup- plies. Foundation members are volunteers committed to helping area residents assist our children.

The money earned aids in providing resources to en- rich student learning within all of the schools within the Nebo School District.
