Golfers of all skill levels are invited to register for Oregon State University – Cascades’ fourth annual golf-putting tournament on May 15.

The tournament will start at 9 a.m. on the 18-hole putting course at Eagle Crest Resort in Redmond. The event is co-hosted by the OSU Alumni Association, and is open to community members of all ages, as well as OSU and OSU-Cascades alumni, and OSU-Cascades students and employees. 

Proceeds from the event will support the OSU-Cascades Basic Needs Fund. The fund ensures students facing unexpected financial challenges have access to essentials — like food, housing, transportation, textbooks and emergency support — helping them stay on track to complete their degree.

Tournament tickets are $40 per person and $150 per foursome, and include a lunch reception, golf balls and putter rentals, if needed.
