Lone Star College Foundation raised $154,010 at its 29th annual Drive for Scholarships Golf Tournament on Nov. 14. Proceeds will fund 53 scholarships plus add $14,376 toward educational programs and $21,324 to scholarship endowments.
“Last year, Lone Star College Foundation awarded 2,000 students with more than $2 million in scholarships,” said Nicole Robinson Gauthier, CFRE, LSC Foundation Executive Director. “This event is one of the many efforts that play a significant role in funding scholarships, and the Foundation is grateful to our many loyal donors for their continued support.”
LSC Foundation Golf Tournament had more than 200 golfers and 51 volunteers who braved inclement weather to raise funds and establish resources to help change students’ lives. Additionally, 57 sponsors and underwriters supported the event, including Master sponsors Caldwell Companies, CCS Presentation Systems, Netsync and Invitational sponsor TDIndustries.
“PBK is proud to support Lone Star College and LSC Foundation as we partner in shaping the next generation of future learners,” said Alan Stilts, PBK Principal and 2022 Golf Tournament Chair. “As we celebrate Lone Star College’s 50th Anniversary, it is a great time to reflect on how LSC has helped students and the community thrive over the years.”
LSC Foundation Golf Tournament took place at The Woodlands Country Club on the Palmer Courser and the Tournament Course. Players enjoyed competing in hole-in-one, putting, chipping, longest drive and closest to the pin contests. There were two raffle drawings and a dinner and awards ceremony after the tournament.
