The RCI-IIBEC Foundation will be hosting the annual golf tournament at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix. The tournament is now a charitable fundraising event where all the proceeds will support student programs through the RCI-IIBEC Foundation and RCI Foundation Canada.
The golf outing will be on Friday, March 8, 2024, at the Orange Tree Golf Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. The format will be a four-person scramble with 120 players maximum. The $300 cost per golfer will include golf fee with cart, range balls prior to golf, breakfast, “Texan BBQ” lunch buffet, drinks, and beverage cart service.
Cash prizes will be awarded for the first and fifth place foursomes, longest drive men and women (front and back nine), and closest to pin (front and back nine).
Proceeds from this event will support the Joe Hale Student Sponsorship Fund, the Robert W. Lyons and Lewis W. Newlan scholarship funds. The Joe Hale Student Sponsorship Fund (formerly named the student convention fund) has helped sponsor 320 students to attend the IIBEC International Convention and Trade Show and IIBEC Building Enclosure Symposium by covering registration, hotel, meals, and travel expenses. The Lyons and Newlan scholarships are academic scholarships given to up to eight students studying architecture, engineering, building and construction sciences.
