Cleveland Community College's sixth annual Yetis Athletics Golf Tournament teed off Friday, October 10, at Deerbrook Golf Club, bringing together 32 teams and 128 golfers in support of Yetis Athletics. The event raised nearly $45,000 to fund athletic scholarships and enhance the College's growing athletics programs.
This year's winning team featured Matt Bryant, Jason Deans, Curtis Bailey, and Rod Howard. Additional recognitions went to Dan Jablonski and Robby Reynolds for Closest to the Pin, and Dalton Putnam for Longest Drive.
The tournament was made possible through the generosity of sponsors and community
partners, who provided monetary support and donations to a silent auction. The Title Sponsor was Bank OZK, with Platinum Sponsors Berry Business Systems and Albemarle Corporation providing significant support.
"A huge thank you to all our amazing sponsors and to Tommy Gales and his staff at Deerbrook Golf Club for hosting such a fantastic tournament," said Grayson Pierce, executive director of the Cleveland Community College Foundation. "Because of your support, we were able to raise important funds that will go directly toward athletic scholarships. You're making a real impact in the lives of our student-athletes, helping them grow on the field or court, in the classroom, and beyond. We couldn't do it without you!"
Funds raised through the annual tournament directly benefit the Cleveland Community College Foundation, providing scholarship opportunities and resources that support the success of Yetis student-athletes both academically and athletically.
