The Queen Creek Schools Education Foundation (QCSEF) will host its eighth annual golf scramble on Saturday, Sept. 12, at Las Colinas Golf Course, located at 21515 North Village Loop Rd. in Queen Creek. A 7 a.m. shotgun start is scheduled for the event.
The Foundation, according to its Mission Statement, “partners with the community to promote excellence in education and encourages responsible citizenship by financially supporting growth and learning opportunities for teachers and students within the Queen Creek School District (QCUSD).”
The QCSEF Golf Outing is the major fund raiser that enables the Foundation to award the scholarships and grants to deserving QCUSD students and staff.
Founded in 2005, the Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that supports QCUSD students and staff, awarding more than $60,000 in student scholarships and in excess of $5,000 in teacher grants throughout the past eight years. Additionally, the QCSEF awarded monthly gift cards to the QCUSD Classified and Certified Employees of the Month.
The 2014 event included 92 golfers and many generous sponsors. The Foundation’s goal is to surpass those numbers in 2015.
Registration is currently ongoing with forms available online at www.qcsef.org. Sponsorship and donation forms are also available online along with other additional information.
Those in need of further communication are encouraged to email questions to qcgolf@gmail.com.
