Staff Reports | Free Press Philanthropy
The Saguaros are hosting the 2024 Niteflite: Time Flies Golf and Gala.
The golf tournament is Nov. 15 at McCormick Ranch Golf Club continuing with The Niteflite Gala at The W Scottsdale.
This year’s time-traveling theme will bring past decades to life at the golf tournament, while the future will be on full display at the gala. All proceeds will benefit the Saguaros Children’s Charities foundation, The Saguaros representatives tell the Digital Free Press.
“The excitement for this event continues to grow every year,” says this year’s Niteflite chair Tad Crother. “Niteflite brings together community-minded professionals from all over the Valley to raise money for Arizona children’s charities, and the fact that all 72 golf tournament fivesomes sold out in just five hours shows the passion for the cause!”
Entering its 35th year, Niteflite is one of the longest running and most successful charity golf tournaments in Arizona. The Niteflite Golf tournament on Nov. 15 will feature a unique five-person-per-group format with a modified best ball scramble scoring system, play with the pros holes, longest drive contests, closest to the pin contests, and prizes for the top teams.
Participants can look forward to retro Americana decade-themed decorations and entertainment at each of the holes. At 6 p.m. Nov. 16, the Niteflite Gala will take place on the Wet Deck of The W Scottsdale. The futuristic event will put technology at the forefront with futuristic performers, photo opportunities, and food and drink stations.
“This year’s Niteflite Gala will feature more glitz and glam than ever, with robots, lasers, and some fun futuristic surprises,” Mr. Crother said. “This event has been a million dollar fundraiser for us in past years, and we’re working hard to reach the million dollar mark this year too!”
