What could be better than a terrific day of golf, knowing your participation is helping to support and increase scholarships for our local students, enhance our community college’s teaching and learning facilities, expand cultural enrichment of our region, and fund academic healthcare facilities?
If you can’t think of anything, then FM’s 17th Annual Golf Classic is for you!
The Foundation of FM, together with NBT Bank, will be hosting FM’s 17th Annual Golf Classic Wednesday, May 26 at Fox Run Golf Club in Johnstown. This year, we expect 100 golfers and over 30 volunteers who will enjoy the prizes and the camaraderie that the Golf Classic annually brings.
Yes, the Golf Classic may sound like just a good time, which of course it is, in fact it’s a great time! But it is also the College’s largest fundraiser netting over $280,000 over the past 17 years. This could not be made possible without the support from our local businesses and community members, many of which you yourself may belong.
Businesses such as NBT Bank, Main Tournament Sponsor; National Grid, Signature Merchandise Sponsor; Frontier Communications, Award Dinner Sponsor; Alpin Haus, Themed Hole Sponsor; Perrone Aerospace and WEST & Co., Beverage Cart Sponsors; Subway of Broadalbin and Subway of Fonda, Luncheon Sponsors; Mangino Chevrolet of Amsterdam, Car Hole-in-One Sponsor; Chartwells Dining, Gross & Cohen Real Estate Investors Ltd., Hays & Wormuth, Martin, Shudt, Wallace, DiLorenzo & Johnson, Pepsi, SCI Replay, and St. Mary’s Hospital, Corporate Gold Sponsors; Hodgson Russ LLP and Jane Kelley, Corporate Bronze Sponsors.
There are also countless numbers of individuals and organizations who support the tournament with prize and tee sponsorships, raffle prizes, and in-kind donations. Wouldn’t you like to be included as a FM supporter? You can! There are all kinds of opportunities awaiting you.
You can register to golf for $125 which includes greens fees, cart, lunch, signature merchandise item, a chance to win a 2010 Chevy Camaro from Mangino Chevrolet, on-course grille and beverages, dinner, and team photo just to name a few. You can sponsor a tee sign for $125 or a contest prize hole for $250.
You can offer a gift certificate to your business or a merchandise item for our Super Raffle. Or you can simply give the gift of time by volunteering and see first-hand all that you’ve been missing! To participate with any of the aforementioned, contact the Foundation Office at 762-4651, ext. 3701.
On behalf of the Foundation Board, the Golf Classic Committee, and the entire college community, we thank all of our sponsors, donors, and players for supporting this event and other Foundation events hosted throughout the year. Remember, FM is here for you. We are your local community college and want you to see and learn just how much we have to offer. If you haven’t had a chance to come out to Johnstown and visit the campus, why not come out to Fox Run Golf Club on May 26th for a great day of golf or volunteerism and hear about all the great things FM has to offer.
