Treetops Resort has an exciting line up of activities for the 2024 Treetops Fall Charity Invitational, proudly sponsored by Pepsi which will take place from Sunday, September 29th to Tuesday, October 1st.
Treetops Resort has given over $1,500,000 to causes ranging from health care to youth programs, veterans’ programs, scholarships, and various local programs.
Treetops Resort’s Annual Fall Charity Invitational Event is the primary event responsible for raising these funds. Over 400 players from around the globe participate in three days of golf, camaraderie, and giving. In addition, many local businesses also help sponsor the event.
Within the past few years, the focus of our giving has moved to 100% on scholarships for students from Otsego County. Since 2018, Treetops Resort has raised $309,800 for the Treetops Resort Endowed Fund and awarded $134,000 in scholarships.
Treetops General Manager Barry Owens said,
“I have seen the impact of what an education can do—whether it be a traditional four-year school or learning a trade at a two-year school. I know I would not be where I am today without the assistance of scholarships.”
Scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors from Otsego County, with priority given to the current Treetops Resort family of employees. Preference is given to employees with multiple years of employment and students earning a degree in hospitality, food and beverage, PGA golf management, turf management, or hotel management. Students are currently eligible for $1,000 annually for four years.
The 2024 awardees are:
- Isaac Hopp, who is attending Central Michigan University
- Donovan Blust, who is attending Mid-Michigan Community College
- Sophie Wieber, who plans to attend the University of Michigan
- Avery Huston, who plans to attend Northwood University
By sponsoring or participating in the annual invitational, guests are increasing the Treetops Resort Endowed Fund, which is instrumental in funding more students. This is crucial to allowing us to continue providing our local students with the assistance they need.
