More than 35 four-person teams enjoyed a great day of golf to help raise money for Eastern Florida State College student scholarships at Duran Golf Club in Viera on Friday. 

The Tenth Annual Scholarship Golf Classic helped raise more than $160,000. 

The team from Met-Con took first place at the golf event, followed by Kasey Osman Insurance and Progressive Cleaning. 

At the start of the event, Eastern Florida State College President Dr. James Richey thanked all the golfers and sponsors for helping the college achieve its educational mission. 

“I want to thank everyone participating today for their generosity and strong support of our college and students,” said Dr. Richey. 

“In the past 10 years, we have raised $1.2 million through this tournament. Last year we were able to award over $1 million in scholarships thanks in part to all of the sponsors and players participating in this event.” 

“But we all know that events like this don’t just happen. I’d also like to recognize and thank Tonya Cherry and the EFSC Foundation team for their efforts.” 

“The money raised today will be used for scholarships. So, every donation will make a big difference in someone’s life.” 

The event’s $25,000 Signature Sponsor was Community Credit Union. Titan Sponsors at the $15,000 donation level included Glover Orndorf & Flanagan Wealth Management. 

AM-KO Building Maintenance and Ajax Building Corporation were the two $10,000 level Hospitality Sponsors. The $5,000 level included Health First, MH Williams, Craig Technologies, Wharton Smith, Inc., Progressive Cleaning and Presidio/Cisco.
