CJUSD’s nonprofit scholarship foundation needs golfers, sponsors and volunteers for a fun day on Saturday, April 7 at Shandin Hills Golf Club in San Bernardino supporting scholarships for its class of 2018.
The APPLE Scholarship Foundation will hold its 13th Annual Golf Tournament.
District employees formed the foundation more than 16 years ago with the goal of helping graduates of CJUSD and the children of employees pursue their dreams of further education. Last year alone, APPLE awarded a total of $25,000 to 22 graduating seniors in various amounts.
“This is an important annual fundraiser that over the years has contributed to a total of more than $370,000 in scholarships to our students,” spokeswoman Katie Orloff said. “It’s a way for us to collectively invest in their success after graduation and show them that the community believes in them.”
The tournament is scheduled for a shotgun start at 8 a.m. Registration is $80 for a single golfer or $300 for a foursome. Entry includes 18 holes of golf, a cart and the awards luncheon. All proceeds fund scholarships for district students. For those who do not play golf, the event also needs volunteers, sponsors and donations of raffle items and/or goodie bag items.
For those interested in becoming a sponsor, donations may be tax deductible.
