Attention all non-profit organizations! Are you trying to sell items to raise funds for your organization? If so, we have a new program called TICKETS Fore CHARITY. The Fort Smith Classic and Farmers Coop would like to invite you to our Kick Off to show you how old fundraising is in the past and how you can earn 100% back just by promoting ticket sales of the Fort Smith Classic. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it really is that simple! We look forward to seeing you Wednesday, March 4th at 4:00pm at the Fort Smith Regional Chamber of Commerce Room.

BETH KOPROVIC




A loving tribute to a woman who strived to change someone’s life every day.

Each year, the Fort Smith Classic partners with local non-profit organizations that are dedicated to improving and enriching the lives of children and our neighbors in need. The tournament is proud that this group of worthy organizations is named the Beth Koprovic Memorial Charities in honor of a woman who embodied these same ambitions.

Chester Koprovic, Beth's husband said, “The Fort Smith Classic helps people the way Beth helped people. I think this is a great way to honor her in a way that she finally deserved.”

Beth Koprovic was gracious, generous and intensely private. She quietly gave both time and money to organizations that helped something she loved, people.

Most who benefited from her kindness never knew the source of their support. In honor of her wish to remain private, Beth Koprovic’s family is still reluctant to divulge the list of charities that she supported, though we do know that her favorites include those that benefit children, women, church and the arts.

Over the years, the Fort Smith Classic has frequently offered the challenge, “Have you changed someone’s life today?” Those who knew Beth Koprovic can say without hesitation, “Yes, she did.”

And though no longer physically with us, Beth Koprovic continues to change lives. Her devotion to others and her legacy of giving shall continue through her children, grandchildren and the organizations she touched throughout her lifetime.
