The Waubonsee Community College Foundation invites residents and local businesses to support student success by participating in its 39th annual golf outing.
The event, to be held Monday, Sept. 28, at the Aurora Country Club, raises funds for the foundation’s scholarship program.
Last year, the program awarded more than $438,000 in scholarships, according to a news release from WCC.
“It’s incredible to see what our community can accomplish when we all pitch in, and that’s exactly what this outing is all about,” Brian Dolan, foundation board member and chair of the golf outing committee, said in the release.
“It’s a chance for local businesses and community members to have some fun together while helping students build a better future,” he said.
The foundation said scholarship recipients at Waubonsee are 2.25 times more likely to graduate than non-recipients.
Event check-in begins at 10:30 a.m., followed by a lunch buffet with remarks from Dolan and Waubonsee President Brian Knetl. Golfers will head out on the course at 12:30 p.m., and the event closes with a post-golf awards reception, according to the release.
Sponsorship options begin at $300 to be a hole sponsor, while signing up as a foursome costs $1,750, the foundation said.
Registration includes 18 holes of golf, entry for on-course individual and team contests, lunch, appetizers and two drink tickets. A cash bar will also be available.
