It is also a significant charitable event with proceeds benefitting MPSE’s Ethel Crutcher Scholarship Fund, which provides mentoring and support for student sound artists. Cinema Audio Society President Mark Ulano is honorary chairman of the event.
This year’s event promises to be the biggest and best yet. The winning team in the scramble-style golf tournament will receive a prize of $1200 in the form of gift cards from Roger Dunn Golf Shops, with additional prizes awarded to second and third place finishers. Other activities include longest drive, putting and hole-in-one competitions with individual prizes as high as $10,000. The winner of the poker tournament will take home a $1000 gift certificate toward a vacation getaway in Las Vegas.
