Boise State business college golf tournament raised a record $81,000 this year for scholarships

BOISE CITY — Boise State's College of Business and Economics golf tournament raised a record $81,000 this year for student scholarships, according to a Nov. 6 university news story. The tournament has raised more than $950,000 since alumni and faculty started it in 1996.

Johnny Grizzaffi, a retired Stein Distributors president, chaired the tournament committee for 22 years and is stepping down. Ron Van Auker Jr., president of Van Auker Companies and a member of the college's advisory council, will chair next year's event.

The university says the tournament sells out at its cap of 25 teams and has had a waitlist for about a decade. It has netted an average of $47,500 a year since 2021. Proceeds this year go to a family scholarship fund named for Grizzaffi.
