Barre, Vermont – Join UPS Berlin and St. Johnsbury
Distribution Centers and Green Mountain United Way for a beautiful day of

“This is our biggest event and longest standing event at Green Mountain
United Way and we cannot thank UPS enough for the support they give us in
putting this tournament together – it really is a UNITED effort”,”
Green Mountain United Way Executive Director, Tawnya Kristen, said. “Thanks
to the generosity of the many people who make this event successful, we are
able to make a significant difference in the areas of health, education, and
financial stability in our region, which has some of the highest poverty in
the state. The good that will be done because of this tournament is
enormous.”
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont has signed on as a sponsor again in
2017 at the Dinner Sponsor Level and Community National Bank is once again
supporting the event at the Eagle Level.

“UPS is a committed partner of the United Way and The Golf Classic is an
excellent way to connect to our local community and multiply the amount of
good we are able to do through the United Way each year, as well as a great
way to get outside and have some fun!” said Phil Parson, District Center
