Golfers Tee Off October 1 for Deserving Students

IRVINE, CA—Irvine Valley College holds its Ninth Annual Foundation Scholarship Golf Tournament to benefit students on Tuesday, October 1, 2002, at Strawberry Farms Golf Club in Irvine

Each year, the event has helped raise funds and support for deserving community college students throughout Orange County. Over ten years, students at IVC have received nearly $1 million in financial aid through the efforts of the Irvine Valley College Foundation.

One of the goals of Foundation Scholarship Golf Tournament is to further public awareness of Irvine Valley’s scholarship program. Each spring, IVC awards scholarships to hundreds of students who attend IVC and go on to four-year universities. Now may be the last opportunity for players to participate at one of Southern California’s premier golf courses, and some spots are still available.

This year’s event, sponsored by Whitmont Legal Copy, Inc., includes 18 holes, lunch and dinner, and a silent auction. Luxury cars can be won on some holes. The shotgun start tourney begins at 12:30. Players of all ability levels are encouraged to participate, and all donations are tax deductible
