Nearly 200 golfers braved the hot and humid conditions at CrossWinds Golf Club in Plymouth, MA for the 18th Annual AFSCME Council 93 Memorial Scholarship Fund Golf Tournament on August 5th. The tournament raised tens of thousands of dollars through donations, raffle ticket sales, and sponsorships for the Council 93 Memorial Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance to Council 93 families to help offset the cost of higher education. 

The field of golfers was made up of AFSCME Council 93 leaders, rank-and-file members, friends, supporters, and allies. Locals from all four Northern New England states were well represented, with several Locals fielding multiple teams to support the fundraising efforts.

Major sponsors of the tournament included Council 93, Regan Associates, and Membership Benefits Group. A number of Locals, friends, and supporters also generously donated to sponsor holes, raffle prizes, and time to make the tournament a success. The tournament does not happen without the dedication and commitment from the dozens of volunteers who generously donate their time to help set up, register players, sell raffle tickets, monitor on course games, and make the day special for all involved. 

The team from Mills’ Mechanical were the tournament winners with a score of 14-under par. However, no matter what the score, the day was a great success for all involved.

For over twenty-years, the Fund has provided more than $100,000 in scholarships to Council 93 members, their spouses, children, stepchildren, grandchildren and legal dependents to help offset the cost of higher education.
