The Simsbury Volunteer Fire Company and Auxiliary are looking for golfers and sponsors for their 24th Annual Golf Tournament on Thursday, June 9 at Blue Fox Run Golf Course, 65 Nod Road, Avon.

Nine sponsorship levels begin at $50 for a business card ad in the tournament program up to $5,000 for a complete golf package for 12 players, sponsorship banners displayed prominently throughout the tournament, sponsorship of a hole, tee and green signs, sponsorship of pin flags, 12 embroidered towels, a golf sponsorship plaque and happy hour sponsor.

For golfers, the cost per player to register by May 20 is $125.00, or $150.00 after that date, which includes 18 holes of golf with a cart, a gift bag, a box lunch, and dinner and an awards ceremony. Guest dinner tickets may be purchased for $40.00.
