You still have time to set up a tee time for the Joe Fortunato-Allen Brown Golf Classic at Beau Pre Country Club. The event benefits the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Miss-Lou Chapter scholarship fund.

The tournament is on May 1 and is a four-person scramble, with a start time of 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. in a shotgun start.

There will be a lunch available for player and spouse from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Awards and a raffle will be held after play. There is also a ball drop at 12:45 p.ml with a chance to win $1,000. All funds go towards scholarships for area student athletes.
