After a round of golf, dinner and an awards ceremony is held to recognize the winners and draw for door prizes. The tournaments are also about THE COMMUNITY with each region donating to local charities and funding the CIFFA Scholarship program. Your sponsorship makes a huge difference in the success of the tournaments. (note that sponsors will need to bring their own signs).
