MCC Foundation Scholarship Open Raises $106,000


The Monroe Community College Foundation hosted its 32nd Annual Scholarship Open on Monday, June 27, 2016 at the famed Oak Hill Country Club. MCC Foundation Director Phil Yawman was joined by Tony Soprano ’92 of DiMarco Constructors to co-chair the event which raised more than $106,000 (net) to support MCC student success.

This year’s tournament winners were the LaBella Associates' team of Ross Ciulla, Sergio Esteban, Mark Gregor and Robert Healy, capturing the Low Gross trophy with a score of 57. Event co-chair Phil Yawman’s team of Rick Brienzi, Jeff Davis and Tony Tortorella were the Low Net Winners with a score of 61. Andy Juskiw captured the prize for men’s longest drive and Mike Kortan took home the prize for men’s closest to the pin, while Mary Beth Rumble was the celebrated winner of both the women’s longest drive and closest to the pin.

MCC student Blake Moore shared his perspective on the importance of scholarships for deserving students and inspired a Scholarship Call that raised just shy of $40,000! The Scholarship Call was facilitated by Don Jeffries ‘71 of VisitRochester, an MCC Alumni Hall of Famer and member of the MCC Foundation Board of Directors.
