About 180 people attended the dinner program and 116 golfers played in the tournament, which dates back to the early 1980s, which it was founded as the Par Club Tournament.

Forty-seven current University of Colorado Evans Scholars, who benefit from the Evans Cup of Colorado, helped out at Monday’s event, and some recent alums of the program also lended a hand. The CGA, a major supporter of the Evans Scholarship, had some of its staff assist as well.

Joe Ellis, the president and CEO of the Denver Broncos, was the keynote speaker at the dinner, doing a Q&A with local TV sports anchor Vic Lombardi.

The Broncos organization brought the Lombardi Trophy, awarded to the team for winning the Super Bowl in February, to the Evans Cup. Many of the attendees used the opportunity to have photos taken with the trophy, including the CU Evans Scholars (pictured).

The full tuition and housing Evans Scholarship is awarded to high-achieving caddies with limited financial means.

A silent auction also will be held as part of the festivities.

The Oct. 3 tournament will be a qualifier for the 2017 BMW U.S. Final, with the top team finisher in the two-person best-ball format earning a spot in the event at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina.
