8th Annual Chamber Cup Golf Tournament

Platinum Sponsorship provided by Nordic Aquafarms and RE/MAX Jaret and Cohn

Our 8th Annual Chamber Cup Golf Tournament will be held Friday, September 10th, from 12pm – 5pm at the Northport Golf Club. We are excited this year because Stanley Chevrolet Buick has provided a Hole in One Contest prize – The Vespa Primavera! We are looking for teams and sponsorships and hope you will consider joining us that afternoon for a great round of golf. There will also be a bonus Business After Hours for teams and sponsors to conclude the event! Want your team of four to play that day? Give the Chamber a call at 338-5900 for more information. Thank you Stanley Chevrolet Buick and thank you for being a great community member!
