Fresh Produce Expo tees off with golf tournament

Craig Slate, Senior Director of Retail Sales at IFCO remarked, “We’re excited to debut the Viva Fresh Open in conjunction with the annual Viva Fresh Produce Expo. The tournament will provide a great opportunity for expo participants to join together for some camaraderie, fun competition and a great cause - education.”

The new event is meant to provide additional networking opportunities but also to raise funds for the Viva Fresh Education Scholarship Fund. The fund will support students and teachers whose curriculums are focused on nutrition and agriculture programming.

The scholarship fund is something that we’re all passionate about and would like to see grow each year,” remarked Bret Erickson, President and CEO of the Texas International Produce Association. “Providing the gift of education is not only beneficial for our youth but a great networking extension for our Viva Fresh Expo.”

Registration includes entrance to the tournament, 19th hole celebration and an awards reception where the first and second place teams for gross and net scores will be recognized.

After the golf tournament award ceremony concludes at 6:30pm, players and other expo attendees are invited to join the 19th Hole Celebration at the Grey Rock Biergarten for live music and games.
