2026 RIGCSA S&R Sponsorships (October 13, 2026)

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

The RIGCSA continues with its commitment for educational enhancement, sponsoring the 43rd Annual Scholarship & Research Tournament. This year’s event will be held on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 at Alpine Country Club hosted by Golf Course Superintendent Ben Eggleton.

Much of the success of the tournament has always been the strong support of our Affiliate members; the Association is seeking tee sponsorships for this event.

Sponsorship Levels

Silver: $350

Gold: $500

Platinum: $750

Super Titanium: $1,000 or above

If you plan to join us for the golf tournament, we kindly ask that your company support the event by purchasing a tee sign sponsorship. This helps us ensure fairness for all Affiliate members while supporting the success of the tournament. If an Affiliate member participates without the required sponsorship, their company will be invoiced for the Silver Sponsorship level.

Sponsorships will include your company name on tee signs, signage and table tents at the event and recognition on the RIGCSA website and the Surf 'n' Turf newsletter.

Reservation Deadline is Monday, October 5th.

*Please note, you will not be able to make payment during registration but you will receive a separate email with your invoice.
