The Findlay Toyota Rebel Athletic Fund Golf Tournament will be held May 11 at Bear's Best Golf Club. All proceeds benefit UNLV athletes.

The cost of the event is $1,800 per foursome or $500 per individual. Green fees, cart, tee gifts, lunch, dinner, color photo of foursome and awards ceremony are included in the entry.

The format is a four-person scramble and will feature hole-in-one contests, close-to-the-pin contests and long drive contests.

In addition, participants have the option of bidding on a UNLV coach or administrator to add to their foursome. Minimum bids start at $250 and featured players include UNLV men's head basketball coach Lon Kruger, football coach Mike Sanford, baseball coach Buddy Gouldsmith and women's basketball coach Kathy Olivier.

The morning flight is a 7:30 a.m. shotgun and the afternoon flight starts at 1:30 p.m. The dinner following play is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Contact Brian Finn with the Rebel Athletic Fund at 895-4753 or visit the Web site at www.unlvraf.com.
