About
The National STEM Academy programs are vitally important to help young Americans prepare as future leaders of this great state and nation. Last year, more than 55,000 students and teachers benefited from the exceptional hands-on/virtual programs offered in our National STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Academy. The NSA Benefit helps significantly to underwrite these critical programs. We hope you will join us as a sponsor, golfer, volunteer or reception attendee to ensure our continued success.
This legacy NSA Benefit is the largest outdoor networking event in middle Georgia and consists of the NSA Benefit Reception and The NSA Benefit & Robins Mission Partner Challenge Golf Tournament. The NSA Benefit & Robins Mission Partner Challenge Golf Tournament is a four man scramble with a bogey max per hole held at Pine Oaks on Robins Air Force Base, GA. This championship layout features gently rolling fairways and a distinct variety of holes that wind through old southern oaks and majestic pines. Strategically placed bunkers around the greens provide a great challenge for even the sharpest of the short game!
- Separate prizes awarded for each round.
- Foursomes compete in a scramble with a Bogey Max Per Hole.
- Players receive commemorative golf swag and golf ball.
- Breakfast & lunch buffet.
- NSA Benefit’s Networking Reception plus a guest.
This annual endeavor continues to be our most important STEM fundraiser – critical for the support of our award-winning programs. Learn more about the National STEM Academy and the wonderful programs it provides.
