Golf Classic Raises Funds For Cherokee Schools, Teachers

Staff Report

The Cherokee County Educational Foundation (CCEF) is swinging into fundraising gear for its Second Annual Golf Classic on Tuesday, Sept. 30 at Woodmont Golf & Country Club in Macedonia.

Cherokee County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Frank Petruzielo is honorary chairman of the Classic, which offers the community the opportunity to enjoy a day of golf while supporting the students and educators of the Cherokee County School District.

Founded in 2012, the Cherokee County Educational Foundation is a not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to advancing student academic excellence. Proceeds from the Classic will enable CCEF to fund programs including IMPACT Grants that support innovation in the classroom and scholarships for students.

“Participating in the CCEF Golf Classic is an easy way to make a big difference in our schools,” said Foundation Fundraising Chairman Kevin Williams, whose company, Chick-fil-A Canton, also is a Classic sponsor. “If you value the schools of Cherokee County that provide our children with an outstanding education and are an important asset to our community’s economic development, please join us on the greens.”

There are many ways to become involved. Sponsorships range from $250 to $5,000, a foursome is $500 and items are needed for the raffle and silent auction.
