Golfers are anticipating an early start to another great season at Tahoe's myriad courses, and the Excellence in Education Foundation Golfing for Schools Cards go on sale Saturday May 4, 2013.

The $295 transferable cards are an excellent value and are valid for 18-holes of play at seven of North Tahoe and Truckee’s premiere golf courses including: Coyote Moon, Northstar, Old Greenwood, Resort at Squaw Creek, Tahoe City, Tahoe Donner and Gray’s Crossing.



“If you were to pay for 18-holes of golf at each course independently, you could easily spend over $500,” explains Laura Abbey Brown, Executive Director of the Foundation. “So not only are the cards a terrific deal, golfers are also helping support local Tahoe Truckee schools.”



The Golfing for Schools program is a primary fundraising program of the Tahoe Truckee Excellence in Education Foundation. The Foundation is a private, nonprofit organization that enhances public education within the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District. Each year the Foundation raises money and provides grants, resources and partnerships to benefit students, teachers and the educational community as a whole.



Cards may be purchased at Porters Sports in Truckee and online at ExinEd.org. There is an eight card per person purchase limit and additional restrictions do apply. Only a limited number of passes are available and cards will be sold on a first come, first serve basis. Purchase your card on May 4 and be entered into a drawing for a twosome of golf at Schaffer’s Mill or Ponderosa Golf Course in Truckee.

Some restrictions do apply; please visit www.ExinEd.org for details or call Excellence in Education at 530-550-7984.
