Golf and Tennis Scholarship Classic to Benefit Honors Program

The Buffalo State Foundation presents the 17th annual Golf and Tennis Scholarship Classic on Monday, September 8, at the Brookfield Country Club in Clarence, NY.

Presented by Pepsi, the event includes a lunch buffet, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and an awards dinner. Jeremy Hudson of Hudson Advisors is chair of the event.

Proceeds support SUNY Buffalo State’s Muriel A. Howard Honors Program, which is funded entirely by private donations. The program provides deserving students with scholarships, an honors lounge, special on-campus housing for interested students, and opportunities for internships, seminars, and research.

“The scholarships help enable students to attend college who otherwise could not afford to and provide support for service learning, research with faculty mentors, and special seminars,” said Kathryn Neeson, director of special events and protocol.

At last year’s event, 130 golfers and 10 tennis players helped raise more than $75,000.

There is still room for interested golfers or tennis players. For more information, visit giving.buffalostate.edu/scholarshipclassic or contact Kathryn Neeson at (716) 878-4895.
