Albertsons Boise Open presented by Kraft Gets Extension Through 2016

(BOISE, ID – April 22, 2013) – Albertsons LLC announced today a three-year extension for the Albertsons Boise Open presented by Kraft Web.com Tour event for 2014, 2015 and 2016.

A Boise tradition since 1990, the tournament has brought some of golf’s greatest up and coming talent to the area while also playing a vital role in helping local charities. Albertsons LLC’s Chief Operating Officer Bob Butler said, “We are very pleased to continue this great tradition here in our home town. I have watched this tournament grow and the competition get tougher and tougher with each year, and I’ve also been able to see the positive impact of this event on hundreds of charities throughout the Treasure Valley. It’s a tremendous privilege to be part of it.”

Jeff Sanders, Executive Director of Jeff Sanders Promotions, the original tournament management group said, “This all started from a one year agreement back in 1989, and I’m proud to say that 23 years later, it’s become a tradition. I never would have imagined in my wildest dreams we would be still going strong with Albertsons as our original Title Sponsor now through 2016. We are most excited about the opportunity to showcase the amazing talent on the Web.Com Tour in Boise and to play a role in providing much needed charity dollars to the Boise community for years to come. Our sights are set on reaching $20 Million to Treasure Valley organizations. Albertsons has been such a great title sponsor for 24 years and we are very grateful to Bob Miller, Bob Butler and the Executive Team for the decision to continue.”

The Albertsons Boise Open presented by Kraft has given over $15 Million to hundreds of Treasure Valley charities since the tournament began and has given over $1 Million to charities in each of the last 7 years.

The fact that Albertsons has been the only title sponsor since the beginning is not lost on the PGA TOUR. Web.Com Tour President Bill Calfee mentioned today, “All of us at the PGA TOUR and Web.com Tour wish to express our appreciation to Albertsons for once again extending its relationship with the Tour and the Albertsons Boise Open. Albertsons holds the distinction of being the only lead sponsor with the Web.com Tour all 24 years of our existence. We look forward to growing our partnership with Albertsons and the tournament for many years to come, and to continuing to have a very positive impact in the community and with the many worthy charities that benefit from the event.”
