MMC Sixth Annual Golf Tournament Raises Funds in Support of Student Scholarships

(New York, NY) – Brisk winds presented a challenge for golfers at the Sixth Annual Golf Tournament, hosted by Marymount Manhattan College on October 7, 2009. The event was held at The Stanwich Club in Greenwich, Connecticut. 

Approximately $70,000 from the Golf Tournament proceeds will provide a first-rate liberal arts education as an affordable option for our diverse student population. Participation supports increased scholarship opportunities, through This is the Day, the Campaign for Marymount Manhattan. The generosity of the participants will also help MMC meet a $1.5 million Kresge Foundation challenge and to reach our $25 million campaign goal.
