Oil Patch Bits: UIC announces 2nd annual charity golf tournament

UIC Technical Services, a member of the Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corp. family of companies, said Aug. 1 that it is hosting its second annual UIC Foundation Charity Golf Tournament on Sept. 18. The tournament will take place at a new location, Swan Point Yacht and Country Club in Swan Point, Md. In addition to the golf tournament, the event will include a raffle and both a silent and live auction for donated items including Alaska Native art.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the UIC Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides scholarship funding to qualified Alaska Native students. The foundation has distributed over $400,000 in scholarships over the past three years to qualified recipients attending college or vocational school. The foundation provides financial assistance with items such as tuition, fees, and books. You can learn more about the UIC Foundation at www.ukpik.com/uicfoundation.htm.

The success of this event is credited largely to its sponsors, who lend their names and financial support. By participating as a sponsor, organizations benefit from extended exposure through promotional efforts directed toward the supporters of the UIC Foundation including a thank you ad in Petroleum News, as well as the UIC newsletter which is mailed to UIC’s over 2,500 Iñupiat shareholders. Those interested in sponsoring can contact event organizer Kelvin Martinez at 703-562-0340 or [email protected].
