HISTORY OF THE FOUR CORNERS BOARD OF REALTORS AND DEAN HANSON MEMORIAL SCHOLARHIPS

The Four Corners Board of REALTORS sponsors the Dean Hanson Memorial Golf Tournament every year the 1st weekend after Labor Day in September. It started out as a tournament in memory of Dean Hanson, A REALTOR and involved community leader. Dean Hanson was a little league coach, was instrumental in getting the Elks club built.

The Dean Hanson Memorial Golf Tournament started in 1988. Originally it was set up for golfers over 60 years of age and about 45 players turned out to play. Family and friends of Dean Hanson contributed financially to help get the tournament started. At this time the funds were placed in a Scholarship Fund in Dean’s name, with one scholarship given.

In 1994 the tournament was restructured for a 5 member team and at least one person on the team had to be a woman, and more than 150 players turn out to play. Today there are approximately 175 players enjoying the tournament. Area businesses donate and sponsor the golf holes, thus making more money for more scholarships.

These tremendous responses from the community in sponsoring holes and the players who enjoy the great game of golf have made a huge impact on the students seeking higher education in our community. The scholarships have gone from a couple in the amount of $250.00 each up to as many as eight scholarships in the amount of $1,000.00 each.
