RAINSVILLE, Ala. — The Rainsville Chamber Scholarship Golf Tournament fundraiser began in 2000. That year, the Chamber awarded a $500 scholarship to one Plainview High School student. In 2016, the Chamber awarded four $1,500 scholarships. In 2017, we awarded six $1,500 scholarships and as a result of the tremendous support of our sponsors, teams, individuals, and the Rainsville business community, the Chamber was able to award ten $1,500 scholarships at Awards Day in May of this year.

This year’s Scholarship Golf Tournament will be held on August 18th at the Rainsville Golf and Country Club. Registration begins at 7am (you may pre-register by calling the Chamber at 256-638-7800), tournament begins at 8am. We are looking for corporate, apparel, and hole sponsors as well as golf teams.

All sponsors will be featured on a list in golfer’s gift bags. Apparel/corporate sponsors ($500) will have their logo on tournament shirts plus a 36x48 banner displayed at the golf course’s clubhouse. Hole sponsors ($100) receive an 18x24 sign at a tee box on one of the course holes.

Fee for a 3-person team is $150. This includes 18 holes of golf, cart, tee shirt, visor, and towel, plus breakfast, drinks and snacks, and lunch. The first place team will win $450, second place is $300 and third place is $150. Make a hole in one at Hole 6 and you will win $1,000! There will also be plenty of door prizes.
