For registration and more information, contact William Texidor at 786-516-1118.

The Tournament continues to be a means of assisting students (sometimes first generational) to pursue a degree. The chapter named its tournament after its Founder, Charles George, who established the chapter in 1986 and is also an avid golfer. Mr. George continues to actively engage with the chapter’s activities.

Monies raised from the Golf Tournament are used for the COMTO Miami Scholarship Fund which helps local students as well as the National Scholarship Fund. This year, as families stretch to pay rising tuition costs to keep their outstanding students on course, COMTO Miami needs your support more than ever.
