On Monday, May 12, the 10th annual Medford Education Foundation Golf Tournament and Dinner Awards Reception, presented by Allen and Associates, will take place at the Medford Village Country Club, in Medford. Last year’s golf outing raised over $35,000 for the direct benefit of the Medford Township Public Schools.
The day will begin with lunch at noon followed by a 1 p.m. shotgun start. After a great day on the links, cocktails will begin at 5 p.m. Dinner and awards will follow from 6 to 8 p.m. Sponsorship information, advertising information, and the registration form are available on the foundation’s website, www.medfordeducationfoundation.org.
“The Medford Education Foundation Golf Outing and Tournament is not only a fantastic opportunity to network and promote a business, but is also a fun and entertaining day with friends and colleagues who come together to support the mission of the Medford Education Foundation”, said Tommie Ann Gibney, president of the foundation. “The support we receive from the community allows us to underwrite programs which enhance the educational experience of Medford Township public school students.”
All proceeds from this event benefit the Medford Education Foundation, an independent, non-profit 501 corporation comprised of parents, business owners, and educators who work to raise money in support of the Medford Township Public Schools. Since 2004, the Medford Education Foundation has raised over $55,000 for the benefit of the public schools and students for things such as mobile laptop laboratories, technology upgrades and the purchase of independent reading books. Funds raised by the Medford Education Foundation are also used for the foundation’s Education Grant Program, which supports teachers and encourages creativity in the classroom for the benefit of Medford’s kindergarten through eighth grade students. Foundation grants provide resources for extraordinary educational experiences such as hands-on classroom projects, field trips, art, music and drama programs, enhanced STEM education, guest speakers, assemblies and access to technology.
