A tradition of impact

Hamilton Heights Education Foundation’s 37^th annual Golf Scramble brings community together

Submitted by Hamilton Heights School Corporation

Hamilton Heights Educational Foundation’s (HHEF) 37^th annual Golf Scramble brought together an enthusiastic field of players, volunteers, and supporters for a day of golf, giving, and community spirit. Thanks to the incredible turnout and generosity of participants, this year’s outing raised more than $33,000, directly supporting opportunities that enrich the educational experience for Hamilton Heights students.

This long-standing fundraiser plays a vital role in helping HHEF provide the “extras” that elevate learning: innovative classroom tools, enhanced programming, and student experiences that might not otherwise be possible. It’s a true community effort, powered by volunteers, families, local businesses, and partners who believe in investing in Heights’ students and educators. These added opportunities make learning more meaningful, more engaging, and more memorable for our kids.

Members of the Foundation also extend its sincere appreciation to all sponsors, players, and volunteers who helped make this event a success.

“Your generosity ensures that students will continue to benefit from this event well into the future,” HHEF President Melissa Martin said.

Comprehensive Financial Services was the lunch sponsor this year.
