It was a bright and sunny day, “on par” to match Pueblo Community College’s bright future.
Supporters of the Pueblo Community College Foundation hit the links in the 2014 “Fore! Education” tournament at Hollydot Golf Club on Friday, June 13 to benefit student scholar programs for the college.
132 enthusiastic and persistent golfers tried their best in the scramble format tournament, with most saying, true to golf, that their scores didn’t exactly match their expectations, but all saying they had fun.
The Pueblo Community College Foundation services all of the PCC campuses — Pueblo, Fremont, and the new Southwest Colorado Community College campuses (Durango and Cortez) — and through the Foundation’s student scholar program they bring positive changes to the lives of individuals, families and local communities.
The Foundation supports the College in areas that are not supported by taxes, tuition, or grants and raises funds to provide assistance to PCC students. For more information, log on to www.pueblocc.edu.
