The Environmental Research & Education Foundation (EREF) announced it will hold its 2021 Fall Classic & Networking Event November 17 – 18 at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa located in Phoenix, AZ. This highly anticipated event brings waste and sustainability professionals together with the support of Republic Services, the event’s overall sponsor, as well as nearly 30 additional sponsors thus far. Proceeds from the tournament will support EREF’s charitable mission to advance scientific research and create educational pathways that enable innovation in sustainable waste management practices.
EREF’s Fall Classic is one of the best networking events of the year, and this year will be no different – attendees can expect a fun and quality event that supports a great cause. On Wednesday, November 17, the event will begin with a putting contest and networking reception featuring hors d’oeuvres and open bars. The morning of Thursday, November 18, kicks off with a breakfast followed by a shotgun start and 18 holes. The tournament will conclude with an Awards Luncheon once tournament play is complete.
The format for the tournament will be four-person scramble with a shotgun start. Players on the first and second place teams will receive trophies, while the first-place team will also receive a framed team photo. A chance to win prizes will be available at all par threes, including one chance to win $50,000 cash. Additional contests are available throughout the course, including the chance to win $10,000 during the putting contest at the networking reception on Wednesday evening.
