All proceeds assist the Lake Land College Foundation in its mission to assist in building relationships that will support and enhance the educational opportunities and services to students through financial support from alumni and friends.
“The golf classic has been and continues to be a successful fundraising event for the Lake Land College Foundation,” Smith said.
Recently, the foundation donated new scoreboards to Laker Athletics and plastics equipment for use in workforce training programs, among other projects.
