26th Annual Invitational Golf Tournament For Scholarships
Golfers will have a chance to hit the green and raise money for scholarships at the Beaufort County Community College Foundation’s 26th Annual Invitational Golf Tournament for Scholarships, sponsored by Nutrien. The tournament will take place on Friday, May 3, 2019 at Cypress Landing Golf Club.
The tournament is one of the largest annual fundraising events for the foundation. It will raise funds for scholarships to help eligible students with the cost of tuition and books, as well as emergency grants. Last year, the foundation awarded a total of $150,000 to 140 students.
“For families on tight budgets, shelling out $300 for books can be the
difference between a student attending or sitting out a semester,” said
Serena Sullivan, VP of Institutional Advancement. “We had one student
approach us this year who did not qualify for financial aid due to her
performance when she first attempted college. Decades later, she was
ready to give it another shot. She earned a 4.0 GPA during her first
semester with us.”
The tournament will be a four-person super ball format with teams pre-flighted based on each golfer’s handicap. The entry is fee $85 per player and includes lunch, cart rental and greens fee. Team prizes will be awarded by 18-hole score in each of three flights. Four prize packages for “closest to the pin” shots will also be awarded.
“Over the last few years, we’ve seen our donations increase, as well as the number of donations,” Sullivan pointed out. “The community is really seeing the impact we are making on local lives and industry.”
