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.

“We look forward to this year’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,” 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.
