Golf Scramble to benefit MHCC students
The Mt. Hood Community College Foundation is teeing up for its tenth annual golf scramble and dinner, the “Par Excellence,” Tuesday, Sept. 9, and golfers are invited to sign-up for this fund-raising event.
Event proceeds will be used to help meet special needs at the college, such as student scholarships, teaching and learning equipment and special projects unmet by the college’s traditional funding sources. Community businesses and individuals are needed to donate prizes as well as sponsor holes and carts.
Any participant who lands a hole-in-one will win a Buick from Weston Pontiac-Buick-GMC in Gresham. Trips, golf equipment and other merchandise will also be awarded.
The scramble is at The Resort at The Mountain, 68010 E. Fairway Avenue in Welches, Ore. Participation costs are $135 for 18 holes of golf and dinner, or $35 for dinner only. Check-in begins at 9:30 a.m. followed by a complimentary box lunch at 10 a.m. and the scramble at 11 a.m. Dinner and the awards ceremony begin at 5 p.m.
Last year golfers and sponsors helped raise approximately $22,000 for MHCC student scholarships and equipment. For more information about sponsorships or to sign-up as a golfer, call Sunny Klever, MHCC Foundation coordinator, at 503-491-7206.
