A beautiful day on the golf course translated into important new funding for students on September 11, 2017. The 14th annual Concordia Golf Classic raised a record $351,000 for scholarships and bursaries.
For the first time, Quebec’s nine major banks came together to support the event. Since its inception 14 years ago, the Classic has raised over $4.95 million for scholarships and bursaries.
