There are still a few more slots for the Kaua‘i Interscholastic Federation fundraising golf tournament, said Diane Nitta, secretary to the KIF.
People interested in helping the KIF with its first-ever fundraising effort can find application forms for the golf tournament at any of the golf shops on the island, or at the principals offices at any of the five KIF participating member schools.
The fundraising golf tournament will play Sunday at the Puakea Golf Course with an 8 a.m. shotgun start for the three-player scramble format.
Entry fee is $300 per team and includes golf, the awards luncheon, a goodie bag, closest to the pin, long drive and team prizes.
There will also be mulligan drawings for travel vouchers, resort stays and other prizes.
The KIF was established in the mid-1930s to promote unity and cooperation among high school participants. Today, the KIF member schools include Kapa‘a High School, Kaua‘i High School, Waimea High School, Island School and ‘Olelo Christian Academy.
The KIF sponsors 15 sports through the school year and currently impacts 1,669 student athletes, or 53 percent of all students enrolled in high school.
Earlier in the year, Kaua‘i Area Complex Superintendant Bill Arakaki said athletic programs have been impacted by the budget cuts across the state.
The KIF suffered a 50 percent reduction in state funding amounting to $70,504 for Kaua‘i. This has led to cutbacks in athletic programs in the areas of coaches salaries, supplies, equipment and transportation.
