Alumni Association Establishes Golf Tournament to Engage Members & Raise Funds

The Collin County Chapter of the Texas Tech University Alumni Association had been defunct for several years when a group of local alums decided to resurrect it. As the chapter began to get back on its feet, the primary goal was to connect alumni and raise funds for a scholarship program. A golf tournament was the perfect vehicle to help the group reach their goals of alumni engagement and fundraising.

Planners had questions right away about how they would efficiently handle registrations, payments, leaderboards, hole-in-one insurance, and other tournament details. They wanted a one-stop shop for managing the tournament and quality add-ons, and GolfStatus was just what they needed.
