CAPE MAY — For a second consecutive year a record breaking amount of money was raised for student scholarships at the Atlantic Cape Community College Foundation’s Annual Scramble ‘FORE’ Scholarships Golf Tournament held at Cape May National Golf Club Oct. 14. The $67,235 amount topped last year’s record total of $61,470 by nearly $6,000.
“The Atlantic Cape Foundation is so thankful for the generosity from our sponsors and supporters, both new and returning,” Atlantic Cape Foundation Executive Director Jean McAlister said. “We would also like to thank Bob Mullock, his family and Cape May National Golf Club for helping us to promote the Foundation and raise critical funds that will benefit student scholarships.”
Under a gloriously sunny and blue early autumn sky, 128 participants took to the 18-hole course and competed in various competitions for cash, prizes and good natured bragging rights between friends and colleagues.
Atlantic Cape President Barbara Gaba greeted the gathered group of golfers and volunteers prior to the shotgun start.
“I would like to thank the Mullock family for supporting our event and our students,” she said. “This event supports scholarships in programs like environmental science and biology. We have more than 20 sponsors this year and your efforts make a big difference.”
“This is one of our most important events here at Cape May National Golf Club,” Cape May National Director of Golf Zack Mullock said. “For me, it is a beautiful thing to help people better their lives and to make a difference for young students and adults who are going back to school and preparing for a second career.”
Following the event, participants were treated to a tasty dinner featuring baked chicken, ribs, macaroni and cheese, and green beans courtesy of S&H Southern Cuisine’s food truck in Cape May Court House. More than 20 prizes were raffled off and tournament winners were recognized.
Since the tournament’s debut in 2006, more than $665,000 has been raised for students thanks to the continued support of dedicated Atlantic and Cape May county businesses and residents.
The 2022 scholarship recipients include Patricia Braun, Lisa Buchmann, Gardenia Cervantes, Sarah Dewitt, Zachary Downey, Jennifer Evans, Marissa Evans, Michaela Graham, Victoria Laroche, John McLaughlin, Sabrina Miller, Tammy Newsome, Isabella Picardi, Frank Piernikowski, Nicolette Roman, Kimberly Stefanik, Rebecca Teka, Brianna Torres and Amanda Zeeman.
