The Indiana Chapter of the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation held its 28th annual Golf Tournament on Thursday at Pebble Brook Golf Club, 3110 Westfield Road, Noblesville.
This was first time a scholarship is named for a Noblesville marine: Corporal Donté Whitworth.
According to Noblesville Police Dept. Sgt. Tyler Mensch, a former marine who is involved in organizing this golf tournament in in Whitworth’s memory, the field of golfers was fuller than anticipated with 76 foursomes golfing the day away for this great cause.
At the end of the day, over $137,000 was raised for the scholarship fund.
