Golf classic raises money for scholarships

The 9th Annual Region One Golf Classic continues to be a great event, which members attend to support the region’s Send a Kid to Camp Scholarship Fund.

Long Island Region President Nick LaMorte announces
a trophy winner for hitting the golf ball the closest to
the hole.

The scholarship fund was created to send the children of CSEA members to summer camp. This year, the event raised $5,000.

Long Island Region President Nick LaMorte said that he had our newer members in mind when he created the scholarship fund.

“Everyone raises money for college scholarships, which I think is a wonderful thing to do,” said LaMorte. “It just occurred to me that no one was doing anything for our newer members with small children. I’m always happy when I get positive feedback from our scholarship winners, who tell me how much the award has helped them.”
