GSA Spring Tour returns with 14 stops in 2022
3/18/2022 12:59:00 PM | General, GSA
The Montana Grizzlies are back on the road and headed to a town near you!
The Grizzly Scholarship Association Spring Tour – a statewide caravan of University of Montana coaches, administrators, and athletic department staff – is back to full strength in 2022, with 14 events around the Treasure State.
From Bigfork to Billings, Sidney, and beyond, the Spring Tour logs nearly 4,000 miles from the mountains to the prairie, visiting local GSA chapters and spreading the good word of Grizzly Athletics.
"The GSA Spring Tour is an awesome time of year. Our fans have a huge impact on our program, and the GSA Spring Tour allows us to both thank them for their loyalty and raise funds for student-athlete scholarships," said senior associate AD and GSA executive director Greg Sundberg.
"We look forward to seeing everyone again, and we thank our chapters who have organized fun events for us all to reconnect."
Throughout the spring, GSA chapters around Montana roll out the welcome mat with barbecues, golf outings, and socials, giving local fans the chance to socialize with the Griz, win auction items, and talk all things Grizzly Athletics.
UM representatives set to travel the state include athletic director Kent Haslam, head football coach Bobby Hauck, head men's and women's basketball coaches Travis DeCuire and Brian Holsinger, just to name a few.
The annual loop of the state kicks-off under Friday night lights this year as Griz football heads to Hamilton for the annual spring game on April 8 at the Hamilton High School Athletic Complex.
The convoy then heads north to the Flathead Valley for the annual Grizzly Golf Classic at Eagle Bend in Bigfork on Friday, May 13.
The Great Falls GSA Griz BBQ returns the following week with a full host of UM dignitaries heading to the Electric City on Monday, May 16 at the Great Falls Civic Center. The week continues with events in Lewistown on May 17, Cut Bank on May 18, and Fort Benton on May 19.
May 24-27 will see the Grizzly roadshow hit the Hi-Line with stops in Havre, Glasgow, and Sidney before making a return to Billings.
After several massively successful years, the Billings GSA chapter will once again host a barbecue and social at the Camelot Ranch on May 26.
Billings will also play host to the annual QB Club Golf Tourney on May 27 at the Laurel Golf Club, with proceeds directly benefiting Grizzly football.
Stops in Helena, Butte, and Ronan round out the tour in early June, with the Grizzly Conoco Golf Classic in Missoula completing the schedule on August 26.
