DOBSON — The Surry Community College Foundation will be holding its 27th Annual Woltz-Harold Golf Tournament on Thursday, Sept. 14, at Cross Creek Country Club in Mount Airy. Tee times are at 8 a.m. and 1:15 p.m.
Each year, approximately $225,000 to $260,000 in scholarships is awarded by the SCC Foundation to students including endowed and pass-through scholarships. Money is also set aside to help students through the Student Emergency Fund. Since the first golf tournament to raise money for student scholarships, the foundation has raised more than $1.35 million.
The tournament honors past foundation board of directors Pat Woltz and Bobby Harold, who endowed scholarships for students and volunteered annually for the golf tournament.
Tournament winners do not receive prizes. Instead, a scholarship will be awarded to a student in the name of team for the 2023-2024 school year.
The SCC Foundation Golf Committee is seeking golfers and sponsorships at a variety of price points. Players may participate individually or in teams. Breakfast, lunch, and an evening meal will be provided for all players, with various levels of recognition available within the sponsorship packages. Committee members include Susan Harold Thomas, Gary Harold, Peggy Rees, Alice Connolly, Marion Venable, Jerry Venable and Ann Vaughn, along with SCC Foundation Executive Director Sheila Franklin and SCC President Dr. David Shockley.
