The Minot State football program has partnered with Beowulf Golf Club to launch the inaugural Kickoff Classic, a golf scramble scheduled for July 27 that aims to raise funds for the Beaver football team.
The tournament will blend competition on the fairways with a festive tailgate atmosphere, giving participants a rare opportunity to mingle with coaches and players while cheering on the squad.
Community Support Fuels Beaver Ambitions
Organizers have priced entry at $800 per four‑person team, a fee that bundles green fees, cart usage, a catered meal and a slate of prizes for the winners.
Those interested can secure their spot through an online registration portal at golfminot.com/tournaments, where details about team formation and event logistics are outlined.
Beyond the greens, the fundraiser underscores the close ties between the university’s athletic department and the local community, channeling resources directly into the Beavers’ preparation for the upcoming season.
The Beavers are slated to open their 2026 campaign on August 27 at Herb Parker Stadium, facing Emporia State in a matchup that promises fresh excitement for fans.
By bringing together golf enthusiasts, local businesses and Beaver supporters, the Kickoff Classic exemplifies how collaborative events can generate both financial backing and heightened visibility for the program.
