The Monroe 社区 College Foundation's 40th Annual 奖学金开放 presented by 丰田 was held on June 24 at The Country Club of Rochester. The day was filled with fun, but the mission was quite serious: to raise funds in support of Monroe 社区 College and to provide scholarships for deserving students like Millibel Cotto. Thanks to our community’s generosity, $130,000 (net) was raised in support of MCC students to fund public higher education for Greater Rochester.
It was perfect golf weather! Our first-place winner for low net was Catone Insurance and Elmer W. Davis came in as the first-place low gross team.
