Golf and Tennis Scholarship Classic to Benefit Honors Program

The Buffalo State Foundation will present the 20th annual Golf and Tennis Scholarship Classic on Monday, September 11, at the Brookfield Country Club in Clarence, NY.

Sponsored by Pepsi, the event includes a lunch buffet, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and an awards dinner. Jamie Rehak from Lawley Service is the chair of this year’s event.

Proceeds support 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, and opportunities for internships, seminars, and research.

“The scholarships help enable students to attend college and provide support for service-learning, research with faculty mentors, and special seminars,” said Susanne P. Bair, vice president for institutional advancement.

At last year’s event, 128 golfers and 7 tennis players helped raise more than $67,000.

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.
