Independent Day School Sets Date for Golf Benefit at Avila

For immediate release:
December 6, 20O1
Tampa, FL

The seventh annual Independent Day School (IDS) Kids Classic Golf Benefit will take place on Feb. 25, 2002 at the Avila Golf & Country Club in Tampa. The IDS tournament, which is a modified scramble format, is one of only five benefit tournaments that the Avila club will be hosting next year.
"As of next year, the Avila Golf and Country Club is limiting the number of charity tournaments that will be played on their course," said Leann Rowe, IDS golf tournament chairperson. "Since Avila is the premier course in Tampa, we're thrilled that the IDS tournament will continue to take place here."

IDS tournament committee members believe that the more limited opportunities for nonmembers to play the highly desirable course at Avila will make the IDS Kids Classic Golf Benefit -- which has always been a sell-out in previous years -- an even more popular tournament in Tampa for serious golfers. "We're looking forward to our most successful tournament to date," said Rowe.

To ensure a smooth flowing day of golf and a successful tournament, the number of players is limited to 120, and all those interested in playing are encouraged to register as soon as possible. The entry fee is $250 which covers the school's costs involved with hosting the tournament at Avila, in addition to each participant's round of golf, lunch and dinner. A player gift, drinks and snacks are also included.

While invitations will be mailed in January, early registration is recommended to ensure your foursome.
