112
educators,
partners,
and
friends
gathered
at
the
Afton
Golf
Course
for
a
day
of
celebration
and
camaraderie.
This
marked
the
20th
year
of
the
Lew
Ford
Memorial
Golf
Outing,
with
a
record
28
foursomes
hitting
the
links
at
9:30
a.m.
that
beautiful
morning
for
a
round
of
golf.
Congratulations
to
this
year’s
champions,
“Team

from
the
DCMO
BOCES
Harrold
Campus
–
Matt

Lew
Ford
served
DCMO
BOCES
as
the
Assistant
Health
&
Safety
Coordinator
from
1998
until
his
untimely
death
in
2016.
Lew
had
a
passion
for
student
safety
and
for
golf.
He
envisioned
an
opportunity
for
educators
to
come
together
after
the
end
of
the
school
year,
to
celebrate
and
to
raise
funds
for
students.
Since
2022,
it
has
raised
over
$28,500;
this
year’s
event
raised
over
$8,300,
with
the
proceeds
being
shared
between

the
Backpack

and
Skills
