Safeway Classic seeks volunteers

The Safeway Classic, the Northwest’s premier LPGA tour stop since 1972 is seeking volunteer help for this year’s event, August 20-26 at Columbia Edgewater Country Club.  There are a variety of jobs available and those who are interested can apply by contacting volunteer coordinator Shannon Smith at 503-626-2711 (shannon.smith@tgfigolf.com).  To download an application, please visit their website at www.safewaygolf.com.
 
“Volunteers are the foundation of what makes this event so successful,” said Tom Maletis, President of Tournament Golf Foundation, the organizers of the event.  “They help us to raise needed funds for local children’s charities in Oregon, and we truly feel that they have an exciting and rewarding experience during this great event.”

Last year the Safeway Classic donated $1,010,000 to local charities through the Safeway Foundation.  To date the event has given over $11 million to local organizations in need; $7 million have been generated in the ten years that Safeway has been the title sponsor.
