Golfers braved the heat and humidity Monday to hit the greens and help local students.
‘This is the largest fundraiser for Clarkston Foundation,? said Carl Matisse, who chaired the 15th Annual Golf Classic with Bruce Beamer. ‘It raises between $20,000-$30,000. It all goes back to the kids in the school district.?
Participants enjoyed a full day of golf at Oakhurst Golf and Country Club in Independence Township, contests, raffle, auction, all different kinds of contests, lunch, and a dinner banquet, Matisse said.
‘It sells out year after year,? he said. ‘That shows strong community support and effort.?
Proceeds fund college scholarships, academic programs, summer camp scholarships, classroom grants, Teacher of the Year, and other recognition programs.
