The 13th Annual "Swing for Scholarships" golf tournament, held on September 9th, successfully raised approximately $9,700.00 for the Centennial Merit Scholarship program at Southeast Regional College. All 46 golfers were treated to a gorgeous day of golf, followed by dining and prizes at the Weyburn Golf Club. Participants and sponsors gathered from in and around Weyburn/Estevan area, Assiniboia and Regina.
Dave Harazny, Marketing Coordinator for Southeast Regional College, was very satisfied with the tournament results, as well as with the warm weather on the day of the event.
"We couldn't have asked for a better day for golf, which always helps, but regardless of the weather, our southeast community comes through each year with their support. I can't give enough praise to our sponsors, golfers, and volunteers who continually participate in this event."
Tournament proceeds are matched by the Government of Saskatchewan through the Centennial Merit Scholarship program. "The $9,700.00 raised from this event actually translates into $19, 400.00 in scholarships," emphasized Marla Smith, Acting Executive Director of the Southeast Education Foundation. "Our students are very grateful for the financial support that our scholarships offer, and the College is very grateful for the Government's continued commitment to this program."
