UAB medical students will host the Student Senate Charity Golf Tournament to benefit the Exceptional Foundation at 8 a.m. Saturday, May 16 at the Highland Park golf course, 3300 Highland Ave. South in Birmingham. The tournament is a scramble-style format with four-member teams. Check-in begins at 7 a.m. before the 8 a.m. tee time.
The Exceptional Foundation is a non-profit organization offering social and recreational opportunities to adults with physical or mental disabilities. The first year class volunteered with the Exceptional Foundation as a part of their orientation last summer and decided to host a fundraising event for the organization.
Cost to participate for teams is $500. Discounted prices will be given for alumni teams ($400) and medical student teams ($300). Costs include breakfast, lunch provided by Chick-fil-A, an event T-shirt and admission to the after party at Pale Eddie’s following the tournament.
Registration deadline is May 1. Individuals interested in signing up can download the team registration form.
