ECC Foundation Golf Tournament Raises $30,000
The Edgecombe Community College Foundation’s 34th Annual Golf Tournament raised approximately $30,000 for student scholarships, an increase from last year’s fund-raising total of about $24,000.
The tournament was held October 10 at Maccripine Country Club in Macclesfield. Thirty-four teams competed in the tournament, which is among the largest fundraisers for student scholarships held by the ECC Foundation.
“The weather was perfect, and the golfers enjoyed themselves and played well, but the greatest outcome is the tremendous amount of funds raised through team entry fees, sponsorships, and other gifts. Every dollar will be used to fund student scholarships,” says Lynwood Roberson, executive director of the ECC Foundation.
An added attraction at the golf tournament this year was world long drive champion Jeff Crittenden, who demonstrated his long drive skills throughout the day.
