Northern Maine Community College students will be the beneficiaries of more than $17,000 in scholarship funds raised through the TD Banknorth Golf Tournament to Benefit the NMCC Foundation held recently at the Aroostook Valley Country in Fort Fairfield.
One hundred twelve golfers teed off for the annual scramble. An additional two dozen people joined the golfers for a dinner and silent auction that followed play at AVCC.
“TD Banknorth, Inc. is extremely pleased with our partnership with the NMCC Foundation to host this annual tournament,” said Michael J. Kelley, TD Banknorth executive vice president.
“The proceeds from this tournament are all about the future of our youth and we are proud to be a small part of that future.”
This marked the third year TD Banknorth has partnered with the NMCC Foundation to host a golf tournament to raise scholarship funds for students attending the College.
“We are most grateful to Mike Kelley, Ray Hews and many others at TD Banknorth for their work on this annual event,” said NMCC President Timothy Crowley.
“The funds raised help ‘open the doors’ of higher education and of NMCC in particular, to a number of deserving students each year.”
Overall winners of the scramble were Todd Hedrich of Presque Isle and Jason Woollard of Mars Hill. The team had a low gross score of 57.
The honor was announced at the dinner following the tournament.
