The Orange County National Golf Center will once again host the 8th Annual Allan L. Levey Golf Tournament to benefit PIJAC. The famed Panther Lake Course wowed last year’s tournament participants with its visual beauty and challenging layout. It’s no surprise that the course received The Golf World Readers’ Choice Award as The Number One Public Course in Florida; was host to the 2010 Q-School Finals and recognized as one of Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play. Golfers will delight in play over rolling meadows, through native pines, and among wetlands and lakes without a house in sight!

For a memorable experience, join your pet industry colleagues for a day of pre-show fun on the links and help raise money for PIJAC. Numerous prize opportunities add to the fun. Your tournament fee includes: transportation to and from the Orange County Convention Center; greens fee and cart; and continental breakfast and buffet lunch. Register solo or as a foursome. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.
