Bo Pace Grizzly Golf Classic set for Oct. 13
The annual Bo Pace Grizzly Golf Classic, presented by UBS Financial Services Inc./ Camden, Lunsford, Sanfelippo & Dickinson Wealth Management, will take place Oct. 13 at the West Plains Country Club.
The tournament, hosted by the Grizzly Club, will be a three-person scramble benefiting the Ron and Peggy Shemwell Athletic Scholarship and Missouri State University–West Plains (MSU-WP) Grizzly Athletics.
"It is our privilege to once again be the presenting sponsor of this year's Grizzly Golf Classic," said Greg Camden, senior vice president of the Camden, Lunsford, Sanfelippo & Dickinson Wealth Management. "One of the driving principles of our group is how we can have a positive impact within the communities we serve that goes beyond our expertise in providing comprehensive, creative and customized wealth management and investment planning. The opportunity to help raise funds for the Grizzly Athletics program by bringing folks together for fun and fellowship on the golf course is very satisfying. We look forward to seeing everyone on Oct. 13 for a great day of golf."
"Grizzly Athletics is appreciative of the continued support of Greg Camden, Shane Lunsford and Pete Sanfelippo and Andrew Dickinson at UBS," said Rachel Peterson, Grizzly Athletics director. "The committee, led by Seth Johnson and consisting of Russ Gant, Sonny Smith, Suzannah Pace and Quin Patterson, has worked hard to provide a quality tournament, and we look forward to seeing many teams at the West Plains Country Club on Monday, Oct. 13," she added.
