Swinging into action for students
Concordia's 14th annual Golf Classic raises $351,000 for scholarships and bursaries
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. The tournament drew 150 business leaders and friends of Concordia to Golf Griffon des Sources in Mirabel, Quebec.
