Tournament to benefit Mission CISD’s Back to School Bash
MISSION, TX – The Greater Mission Chamber of Commerce recently accepted a $5,000 sponsorship from Bert Ogden Rio Grande Valley and a $5,000 sponsorship from Mission Consolidated Independent School District for the All “Fore” The Kids Golf Tournament to benefit the MCISD Back to School Bash.
The Greater Mission Chamber of Commerce will host its All “Fore” The Kids Golf Tournament on Friday, July 17, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. at the Club at Cimarron located at 1200 S. Shary Rd. in Mission, Texas. The format is an 18 Hole, Four (4) player team Florida Scramble.
The Back to School Bash is one of the great events held each year by the Mission Independent School District to help kids succeed in school and the Greater Mission Chamber of Commerce is excited to be on board. Funds generated from the Greater Mission Chamber of Commerce’s All “Fore” the Kids Golf Tournament will provide over 2,000 backpacks for the Mission CISD Back to School Bash.
The Back to School Bash reduces stress on parents and guardians who often face significant costs right before their youngsters head back into classrooms. Back to school season can mean financial strain and sacrifice for many Mission families. “Studies have shown that children who do not have new school supplies at the beginning of the academic year often skip the first several important weeks of class” said Ricardo Lopez, Mission CISD Superintendent. “Proper supplies will help prepare the children for school and make them more at ease so that they can concentrate on learning.” The Back to School Bash is about more than simply distributing backpacks however, the festive atmosphere is designed to get children excited to return to their classrooms. “This event provides a positive experience for the whole family while playing a crucial role in the academic and personal lives of these children,” Lopez said.
Sponsors for this event include: Bert Ogden Rio Grande Valley, Mission CISD, Mission EDC, Mega Doctor News, Texas Border Business, CAPA, Bentsen Palm Development, Royal Technologies, Rodeo Dental, Pena Eye Institute, South Texas Health Systems ER at Mission, Star Properties Real Estate, Holiday Inn Express & Suites, Hacienda Del Patron, Express Employment, Texas Regional Bank and Whataburger.
