Sigma Phi Epsilon, Il Eta Chapter at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, is sponsoring its Fifth Annual Open Golf Tournament on Saturday, Oct. 5, at Fox Creek Golf Course in Edwardsville.
All funds raised will benefit the Lyle W. Ward Balanced Man Scholarship. The scholarship program provides annual $1,000 awards to SIUE incoming freshmen who have excelled in the areas of scholarship, leadership, athletics, community service, and exemplify the Balanced Man ideals of sound mind and sound body.
“Sigma Phi Epsilon’s mission is scholarship, leadership and service,” said Cliff Kinnuenen, tournament chairman. “We are happy to assist SIUE in a small way to attract quality students”.
This is one of three annual Sigma Phi Epsilon events for alumni/active student interaction. A year ago, the event drew 60 golfers and nearly 100 participants, which involved alumni and actives covering 40 years including 1973 charter members. The fraternity has 500 alumni in the region.
Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. with an 8 a.m. shotgun start. Lunch is included, and additional prizes will be awarded.
Cost is $70 per person or $280 per team with advance registration required. Checks are payable to the SIUE Foundation with a notation “IL Eta Golf Benefit” in the memo section.
