Proceeds from the tournament have contributed more than $760,000 over the past twenty years to the Mount Laurel Schools.
The Mount Laurel Education Fund, Inc. is an independent non-profit corporation formed in 1994 to broaden support for quality education in the Mount Laurel Public Schools. A Board of Trustees comprised of volunteers who donate their time, expertise and resources for Mount Laurel’s children governs the Fund. The contribution presented at the September 15 board meeting represents proceeds from the 20th Annual Golf Classic held last September. The Fund has contributed more than $760,000 to the Mount Laurel Schools since its inception. In the 2015–2016 school year, the Public Education Fund contributions will sustain tutoring grants for students, as well as innovative project grants for staff. The majority of the funds raised will continue to be dedicated to retention of after-school clubs and related activities.
