First Community Bank, located in Cherokee Village/Highland, Arkansas, has provided a $1,000 sponsorship for the Ozarka College Foundation Golf Tournament in Izard County, and will serve as the 2021 Course Sponsor. The tournament will be a four-person scramble, taking place on September 25, 2021 at Cooper's Hawk Golf Course in Melbourne, Arkansas. The tournament will have a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m., with all proceeds benefiting the students of Ozarka College.

The entry fee is $400 per team and includes range balls, golf cart fee, light breakfast, lunch, gift bag, and 18 holes of golf. Mulligans will be available for purchase, $5 each. Awards will be given for longest drive, longest putt, closest to pin, and putting contest. Freedom Ford in Melbourne will also sponsor a hole in one contest, awarding a Ford automobile to the winner. 

The College is working closely with the course management team to ensure we host a safe tournament in light of the current health concerns. Team entries are being accepted now. To register, please contact Suellen Davidson, Ozarka College Director of Development, by calling 870.368.2059 or email:  advancement@ozarka.edu.
