Your Friday ticket includes entry to the professional networking session, panel discussion, food and drink, and live performance from Phil Bowen, who’s returning home to perform. June 8th: Golf Tournament at Glade Springs Resort Ready to hit the links?! On Saturday, we’ll make our way to The Resort at Glade Springs where 30 golf teams will compete for glory on the renowned Cobb Course. The golf tournament at the renowned Cobb Course at Glade Springs Resort is sold out! However, the waitlist is still open if you’re interested in playing. A portion of this year’s event revenue from the networking event and golf tournament once again supports the Almost Heaven Scholarship Fund, which helps send West Virginia students to college in the Mountain State. In 2023, more than 200 people made their way to Canaan Valley for the inaugural celebration, which created a $150,000 economic impact on the region. @visitwv
