1. Raised awareness about SYF’s work: On the greens and in between swings, SYF staff members were able to educate participants about the important work we are doing to ignite hope through educational opportunities for students who are at risk of dropping out of high school.
2. Raised significant funds for scholarships: This year’s event raised a record-breaking $34,000, allowing us to provide more scholarships to more students who are on their journey toward lifetime success and achievement.
3. Made new friends who are igniting hope: Tees for Education brings out an extremely generous group of supporters, including corporate donors, sponsors and individuals from across the country. We appreciate the support of so many sponsors – those who join us year after year, and those who joined us for the first time. A special thank you to our Title Sponsor: Simplex Grinnell and Eagle Sponsors: Hayes and Sons and VCC.
Our special thanks to Beth Jennings and Jack Johnson who were tireless volunteer co-chairs for this event. This year takes on a special meaning to us as Simon Youth Foundation celebrates its 15th Anniversary, its 10,000th graduate and surpasses the milestone of providing more than $10 million in scholarships. Thank you for being a part of that – on and off the greens!
