Athens Regional Health System Volunteer Committee Descriptions
The success of the Stadion Classic at UGA relies heavily on community support. The goal of the tournament is to raise money for need based scholarships and other charitable organizations located in the Athens area. To help the tournament reach that goal, Athens Regional Health System has agreed to sponsor Volunteer Uniforms in 2013. The tournament is extremely proud to have Athens Regional Health System as a tournament partner; their involvement in the Athens community is well known and gives the tournament tremendous credibility.
Become a volunteer and be a part of the excitement! Whether you are familiar with the game of golf, or not, we would love to have you join our team. We have volunteer opportunities both pre-tournament and during tournament week. Find out how you can help by viewing the Committee Descriptions listed below.
Thank you to all tournament volunteers for an outstanding effort during this year's Stadion Classic at UGA! The Stadion Classic at UGA Staff and Sponsors are very aware that the success of the tournament is dependent upon the volunteer corps...thank you again for a wonderful job!
