On May 17, Wickenburg Ranch, an active lifestyle resort community in historic Wickenburg, Arizona, supported the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation with an inaugural golf tournament.
Community supporters, 82 golfers, and 12 sponsors joined together to honor the spirit of Semper Fidelis at the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation’s Inaugural Golf Tournament at Wickenburg Ranch, where $138,000 was raised. Funds raised at the golf tournament will help the Scholarship Foundation provide post-high school, undergraduate, and career technical education scholarships for the children of Marines and Navy Corpsmen.
The Scholarship Foundation has been Honoring Marines by Educating Their Children for more than 55 years. This year alone, they awarded $7.2 million in scholarships to more than 2,330 students. At a time when the rising cost of higher education significantly outpaces the average military family income, scholarships make a significant difference in the lives of Marine families.
“The Van Tuyl Company firmly believes the children of our nation’s Marines should never be denied the opportunities their parents served to defend,” said Cassie Broemmer, tournament organizer and member of The Van Tuyl Company. “We greatly appreciate the support of Wickenburg Ranch and the participation of our many sponsors – your contributions made this event possible. With your help, we will continue to ensure that no Marine family in-need is left behind.”
In addition to raising $138,000 for the children of Marines, Wickenburg Ranch and the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation auctioned off three Navy SEAL jump packages. The golf tournament also featured long-drive competitor, Mike Zeigler.
