Missouri 4-H Foundation to host Clover Classic Golf Tournament in September
COLUMBIA, Mo. – The Missouri 4-H Clover Classic Golf Tournament returns to the A. L. Gustin Golf Course in Columbia on Tuesday, Sept. 21.
“Our goal is to raise $55,000 to support Missouri 4-H members and programs, and we’re off to a great start—but we need additional sponsors and teams if we’re going to reach our goal,” said Rachel Augustine, Missouri 4-H Foundation director.
Now in its 11th year, the tournament has become a summertime tradition for many partners and supporters of Missouri 4-H, Augustine said. The event is presented by The Climate Corp., a subsidiary of Bayer, and the Great American Insurance Group’s Crop Division.
Proceeds benefit the Clover Fund, making it possible for the Missouri 4-H Foundation to provide educational resources to Missouri 4-H, train volunteers, award college scholarships and grow strong future leaders.
With nearly 50,000 youths enrolled in the program, Missouri 4-H strives to ensure all young people in Missouri have opportunities to become empowered, confident, hardworking and responsible individuals armed with the life skills needed to succeed in college and their careers, Augustine said.
Teams and sponsors can sign up for a day of golfing, prizes, raffles and more at extension.missouri.edu/events/11th-annual-clover-classic-golf-tournament.
