Scholarship Open
42ND Annual Scholarship Open, Presented by Toyota
The Monroe Community College Foundation's 42nd Annual Scholarship Open, presented by Toyota, was held on June 22 at The Country Club of Rochester. What began as a day of golf and celebration also delivered meaningful impact: a record-setting $165,000 (net) was raised to support Monroe Community College, our students, and expanded access to higher education in the Greater Rochester area.
MCC student speaker Jessica, who is pursuing a nursing degree while raising her son, shared her inspiring story and the impact that scholarship support has had not only on her life, but also on her son's future.
Special thanks to our co-chairs, Kim Gaylord ’98 and Jason Socola ’04. Also, a deeply heartfelt thank you to our scholarship ambassador, Don Jeffries ’71, and our Scholarship Open committee for their dedication, creativity, and resourcefulness in making this year's event one to remember!
