FNBC Bank will once again serve as the presenting sponsor of the annual Ozarka College Foundation Golf Tournament. The four-person scramble will take place Thursday, September 24, 2026, at Cooper's Hawk Golf Course in Melbourne, with a shotgun start at 11:00 a.m. Proceeds from the tournament will support scholarships and student success initiatives at Ozarka College.

"FNBC is proud to support the Ozarka College Foundation Golf Tournament again this year," said Matt Rush, FNBC Vice President Commercial Lender and Ozarka College Foundation Board member. "The tournament is always a great opportunity to bring our community together, enjoy a fun day on the course, and support Ozarka students."

The entry fee is $400 per four-person team and includes lunch at the turn, range balls, a player gift bag, 18 holes of golf, and a golf cart if needed. Mulligans will also be available for $40 per team.

Throughout the tournament, golfers will have several opportunities to compete for prizes and bragging rights. Players can test their skills in the putting contest for a chance to win a putter, with attempts available for $5 per putt or three putts for $10. Additional contests and prizes will be offered throughout the course, including closest-to-the-pin, longest-drive, and longest-putt competitions.

"We are incredibly grateful to FNBC for continuing to serve as our presenting sponsor and to all of the businesses and individuals who make this tournament possible each year," said April Killian, Ozarka College Director of Development. "It's a fun day of golf, but more importantly, every team and sponsor helps us provide opportunities and resources that directly benefit our students."
