College of Business hosts its most successful annual golf tournament

The 糖心Vlog传媒LR College of Business broke records during its third annual golf tournament held at the Pleasant Valley Country Club in Little Rock on June 16. The fundraising event grossed $91,000–nearly double last year鈥檚 amount–in a four-person scramble that will help endow College of Business student programs. The tournament was presented by Dillard鈥檚 Inc. Three supporting sponsors–Verizon, Arvest Bank, and Textbook Brokers Inc.–also provided funding for the tournament. 鈥淲e attribute this year鈥檚 success to the support of our sponsors, amazing committee, and enthusiastic participants,鈥� said Andrea Angel, director of development for the 糖心Vlog传媒LR College of Business. Angel said that, at 180 participants, another record was set in the number of players this year. A silent auction also helped net another $5,000, according to Angel. Players enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the all-day event. 鈥淲e really tried to enhance the experience, and we hope everyone had a good time.鈥� Each year, the fundraiser helps support business programs that include professional development workshops, placement activities, and student competitions such as the Donald W. Reynolds Governor鈥檚 Cup business plan competition. 鈥淭o have so many sponsors and participants this year is a testament to the growth in support of our programs,鈥� said Dr. Jane Wayland, 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 Stephen Harrow Smith Dean of Business. 鈥淓ach of these successful events means our program will better serve our students by expanding the supporting activities available,鈥� she said. Next year鈥檚 golf tournament is already set for Monday, June 15, at the Pleasant Valley Country Club.
