SIM Foundation Golf Tournament

Mark Taylor, SIM CEO, invites you to join him for a round of golf benefiting the SIM Foundation at the The Champions Course at TPC Scottsdale. This tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 8:00 AM. Tournament fee includes lunch and a donation to the SIM Foundation. Rivaling its famous sister course in both beauty and playability, the Randy Heckenkemper-designed Champions Course offers an ideal desert golf experience. Built on the former site of TPC Scottsdale’s Desert Course, the layout was completely revamped in 2007 to flow seamlessly within the naturally rugged terrain, meandering between natural ravines and through picturesque foothills.

Participation can be added during registration for an additional fee: $250/practitioner

Alternate Activity - Frank Lloyd Wright Taliesin West - Architectural Tour

For those who are not interested in golf, we invite you to join us for a 60-minute in-depth guided tour of Frank Lloyd Wright Talisein West. In the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, Taliesin West was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright over 80 years ago. Set amid 600 acres of Sonoran beauty in North Scottsdale, Taliesin West was more than Wright's personal winter residence and studio. It was also the home of the Taliesin Fellowship, a group of 23 young architectural "disciples" who built the complex under Wright's direction. One of the most influential architects of our time, Frank Lloyd Wright’s career spanned more than 70 years and produced such iconic buildings as Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum. With each masterful design, Wright forever influenced our relationship with architecture and our idea of how to live in balance with nature. 

You’ll spend 60 minutes with a passionate, knowledgeable guide, exploring the Historic Core of Taliesin West, diving deeper into the tenets of Organic Architecture, the collections, and the history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll visit Taliesin West’s highlights, but also see private living spaces that are only available on this tour.

Participation can be added during registration for an additional fee: $150/person and includes transportation to and from the hotel.
