LECOM Health Challenge to feature family-friendly ‘Party at the Peak’ theme

Organizers of the LECOM Health Challenge, a Web.com Tour event returning to Peek’n Peak Resort on July 4-7, announced this year’s tournament theme: “Party at the Peak,” an all-ages, family-friendly mix of world-class golf, complimentary tournament admission, and various fun-filled offerings to celebrate professional golf’s return to the region.

For the fourth year, the LECOM Health Challenge will attract a field of rising golf stars to Chautauqua County, and offer a series of family-friendly activities over the four-day tournament and holiday weekend. The event annually draws crowds from around the region to enjoy professional tournament play and experience the sights and sounds of Chautauqua County.

“Each year we strive to keep the LECOM Health Challenge fresh and exciting. We have really raised the bar in 2019 by eliminating the cost of admission and by creating more family-friendly activities,” said Mark Geise, Tournament Executive Director and CEO of the Chautauqua Region Economic Development Committee. “We hope to draw even bigger crowds to the region to showcase this incredible event and to celebrate all that Chautauqua County has to offer with our ‘Party at the Peak’ offerings.”

In addition to free access to the on-course action, the “Party at the Peak” will provide opportunities to make memories off of the course with fireworks, live music, bonfires, and food and drink specials:
