Tiger Ball & Scholarship Auction tonight, Alumni Golf on Friday

Tonight is the night for the annual Tiger Ball & Scholarship Auction presented by Meyer Farms, KTXR HD and KWTO.

The event, a student scholarship fundraiser for the Greater Ozarks Chapter of the MU Alumni Association, begins at 6 p.m. with cocktails and the full program at 7 p.m. — all at the University Plaza Convention Center in downtown Springfield.

Former Mizzou football coach Gary Pinkel will be in attendance, and we’ll have food, beverages as well as live and silent auctions along with live music for a wonderful evening of helping young people reach their dreams.

Individual tickets are only $40, and tables of eight are $300. Call the Hall of Fame at 417-889-3100.

And be sure to play Friday in the MU Alumni Golf Tournament presented by Great Southern Bank. We have morning and afternoon sessions at Millwood Golf and Racquet Club, with 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. tee times.

Teams receive breakfast, lunch, golf carts as well as on-course beverages and snacks. Each player receives a terrific golf gift package and a team photo.
