Dear Friend of Omega,

The Brothers of the Xi Pi Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. invite you to join us for our 7th Annual Uplift Foundation Golf Classic on Saturday June 6, 2009 at the Pine Creek Golf Course in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The tournament will be a four-person scramble beginning at 9:00 AM.  Proceeds from the tournament benefit the Uplift Foundation, a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt public charity that provides scholarships to qualified college-bound high school seniors in the Colorado Springs area.  Over the past five years the Uplift Foundation has awarded over $46,000 in scholarships to local graduating high school seniors.

The cost for an individual is $100 per person or $400 per foursome.  Please contact the numbers below or visit the Omega website for the player registration form as well as information detailing the various levels of individual and corporate sponsorship opportunities.

As always, great prizes, great food, excellent golf and a superb opportunity to network, and meet new and old friends.  The entry fee includes green fees, cart, range balls and a sit-down lunch at the Awards Reception.  There will be a chance to win $100,000 in the Golf Shootout and all players will receive a gift bag that will include, golf balls and other golf accessories. There will be prizes awarded to the winning teams, raffles and contests throughout the day, including a putting challenge.

I encourage you to take this opportunity to get out and hit the links with your friends in support of the Xi Pi Chapter and the Uplift Foundation. This will undoubtedly be a fun-filled Saturday morning, so please save the date and make plans to attend.
