The Sixth Annual Utah Golf Marathon presented by Alexander's recently announced the benefactors for this year's event.
For 2013, Utah's Golf Marathon will benefit the Utah Valley University men's basketball team, which made large strides as the season ended in March.
Unfortunately, more funds are needed to allow the U-V-U men's basketball team to focus on academics in their off-season. If players can't afford to study during off-season, they are forced to juggle all of their course work on top of their athletic training and season.
Alexander's and Utah's Golf Marathon aim to provide needed help for UVU's men basketball team players to continue forwarding their academic and athletic performance. This year, they hope to raise 20-thousand dollars for the UVU Wolverines.
The Golf Marathon will take place on Wednesday, June 19th. There will be 54 holes of golf, prizes, contests and food provided.
To register and to help UVU's men's basketball team, visit UtahGolfMarathon.com. That's UtahGolfMarathon.com.
