Beaver Meadow Golf Course hosted the 2017 Funds for Education Golf Tournament on Aug. 2, with 37 teams and 146 players participating. The tournament, which raises money for the Chamber’s Business Grants for Teachers and the Capital Area Student Leadership program, was a big success again – Chamber President Tim Sink said he estimates the tournament brought in about $23,000. “It is good, but we’ve been doing it forever, so we’ve fine-tuned it,” he said of the dollar figure. The tournament has awarded $148,000 for education grants and $80,000 to support CASL programming since it launched 26 years ago, Sink said.
