The Monroe Community College Foundation hosted its 28th Annual Scholarship Open on Monday, June 25, 2012 at the beautiful Country Club of Rochester. A record $100,000 net was raised to support scholarships for deserving MCC students. Jay Judson of SWBR Architects returned as co-chair of the event and was joined this year by Gary Squires ’76 of Manning Squires Hennig.
This year’s tournament winners were the Siemens team of Adam Rich, Dan Mathewson, Juan Blanco and Steven Napierski, capturing the Low Gross trophy with a score of 58. The Frontier team of Phil Yawman, Russ Chase, John Borsa and Kathleen Pringle were the Low Net Winner with a score of 54.3. Dan Mathewson captured the prize for men’s longest drive and Holly LeSchander was the women’s winner.
Tony Tortorella was the clear winner of the Closest to the Pin prize as he executed a hole-in-one on the fourth hole. His prize was a trip to Sawgrass, one of the most challenging golf courses in the world!
Optics systems technology major Nea Sample ’12 shared her perspective on the importance of scholarships for deserving students and inspired a Scholarship Call that raised $29,000! The Scholarship Call was once again facilitated by Don Jeffries ’71.
Next year’s tournament will be held on Monday, June 24, 2013.
