The 16th Annual Blue Ridge Open Charity Golf Classic will be held on Tuesday, September 26, 2023 at the Hanging Rock Golf Course in Salem, Virginia. Started by Virginia’s Blue Ridge Hospitality Association in 2007, this event helps to raise scholarship funds for deserving students in our region who are committed to the hospitality and travel industries.

Since 2012, proceeds from this event has generated over $140,000 in scholarships for local students majoring in hospitality. Tourism is a growing industry within our region, and it is critical that we continue to develop our future leaders. We appreciate your support of the hospitality and tourism industries across Virginia. Good luck, and we’ll see you on the links!
