This year the chamber is launching a new theme for the golf outing calling it “Legends of Commerce” in which they will be dedicating the Annual Golf Outing each year to a different special chamber member. The recipient chosen each year will be someone who displays outstanding personal and professional attributes, helps to advance the mission of the Mon Valley Regional Chamber, and who promotes and gives back selflessly to the Mid Mon Valley community at large. For 2019, Mr. Jack LaCarte was chosen by the chamber to be honored as the very first "Legends of Commerce" recipient.

The featured ‘Hole in One’ prize will be $10,000 in cash, in addition to valuable auxiliary prizes on other greens. This year’s tournament will once again offer a chance to win a $3,000 Golf Membership to Nemacolin Country Club. The Golf Committee will hold fun competitions throughout the day for cash and donated prizes. Stoney’s Brewing Company will serve as beer sponsor.

Foursome registrations and sponsorships are being accepted by calling the Chamber office at 724-483-3507. Everyone (regardless of membership) is invited to attend this very popular event which has sold out many years in the past. The cost per golfer is only $135 and includes greens fees and cart, lunch, beverages, dinner, golfer’s goody bag, mini massages by Sol Massage Therapy and many other extras. The Chamber accepts all major credit cards. On line registration is not available for the tournament, but a full outing registration brochure is available at www.mvrchamber.org.
