    /24-7PressRelease/ - RALEIGH, NC, September 11, 2008 - NC Beautiful has announced the dates for its annual golf event. The 24th NC Beautiful Golf Classic will be held July 24-26, 2009 at Pinehurst Resort, one of the world's finest golf resorts located among the Sandhills of North Carolina. Attendees will be playing the resort's No. 1 and 4 courses. Duke Energy, a leading energy company focused on electric power and gas distribution operations and other energy services in the Americas, will serve as the event's Grand Sponsor.

Chartered in 1967, NC Beautiful was created as part of Governor Dan K. Moore's pledge to emphasize preserving the state's physical beauty. The goal behind Governor Moore's vision was to use the gifts North Carolina was blessed with—its natural resources, scenery, climate, and physical variety—to provide economic and quality of life benefits for the people of North Carolina. That vision became NC Beautiful's mission. The NC Beautiful Classic has been a state tradition for 24 years and is NC Beautiful's primary fundraising event. The annual event attracts sponsors and donors from across the state of North Carolina.

NC Beautiful Executive Director, Steve Vacendak, says that the funds raised during the three-day event help support educational grants and scholarships that help perpetuate the natural beauty of North Carolina. Educational programs such as Windows of Opportunity, the Environmental Scholars Program, and The Governor & Mrs. Dan K. Moore Endowment for Graduate Research provide real-world experience in protecting, preserving, and maintaining the quality of North Carolina's natural resources and the environment.

"As North Carolinians, we are all part of one of the most beautifully diverse states in our nation," says Vacendak. "It is our duty to be good stewards of our land and to make North Carolina the standard by which other states guide their environmental programs. We're excited about next year's Golf Classic and look forward to it being a successful event."
