The 5th annual Cal State San Bernardino Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) Golf Tournament to raise money for book scholarships to benefit low income underrepresented and first generation students will be held on Saturday, May 6, at Jurupa Hills Country Club.

Registration and practice time is at 10:30 a.m. with the tournament set to start at noon. Player cost is $80 per person and includes green fees, half-golf cart, range balls, two opportunity drawing tickets and dinner. Jurupa Hills Country Club is located at 6161 Moraga Ave. in Riverside.

Also available are various sponsorship opportunities:

  • Tee sign sponsor, $100, which includes one individual tee sign;
  • Course sponsor, $250, which includes one individual tee sign and two player spots (a savings of $10); and
  • Game sponsor, $400, which includes one tee sign and four player spots (a savings of $20).

Vendor/exhibitor spots are available for $150, and include a 10-foot by 10-foot spot (vendors must bring their own tents and tables).

And opportunity drawing tickets will be available at $5 per ticket or $20 for five tickets.

Tournament officials are also seeking business products or any other items that can be used to create gift baskets for an opportunity drawing that will take place during the tournament’s award ceremony.

Proceeds from the opportunity drawing will be used to fund book awards for low-income underrepresented and first generation college students. Over the years, as tuition has increased, so has the cost of textbooks. In some instances, students have to decide between textbooks and food. The book awards ease the burden for students to help cover their textbook costs.

The CSUSB Educational Opportunity Program is committed to providing access to higher education for historically low-income, first generation, underrepresented disadvantaged students who have the potential to succeed at the university level.

EOP recruits, retains, and graduates students by providing a comprehensive program of support services which include admission, academic advisement, career and personal counseling, tutoring, financial assistance and graduate school information.

The CSUSB EOP Alumni Chapter is a non-profit organization established to provide the opportunity for academic and life-long success of historically low-income, educationally disadvantaged and/or first generation college students that seek a future of educational prosperity. The alumni chapter’s goal is to supplement the efforts of the EOP staff, to help raise funds for book awards and to help educate our state's elected officials about the importance of providing at-risk students with the support necessary to succeed in college.
