There will be a four-person scramble with prizes being awarded to the first, second, and third-place teams, along with the longest drive and a hole-in-one. There will be food and drink stations and a post-tournament awards ceremony at 5 p.m. at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables.

ā€œWe look forward to this yearā€™s third annual golf tournament. We want to thank our sponsors for helping us make an impact and improving the lives of Miami-Dade public school students,ā€ said Pou, who is also a Coral Gables High School graduate.

To promote engagement with academic, sports, and business leaders, Pou founded The Home Team to fund programs on anti-bullying, sports, virtual tutoring, robotics, and post-secondary education planning. Since its inception, the organization has helped more than 2,000 students.
