SLIDESHOW: MetroWest Chamber Golf Tourney Raises $5,000 Plus for Foundation

The MetroWest Chamber of Commerce held its 8th Annual Educational Foundation Golf Tournament this week at Charter Oaks Country Club in Hudson.

​More than 120 golfers helped to raise $5,000 plus, said Chamber President & CEO Bonnie Biocchi.

The money raises goes to the Chamber’s educational foundation, which last year awarded $11,000 in scholarships to students.

Annually, the MetroWest Educational Foundation awards both STEM and Arcadius, Emma & Robert Lemieux Scholarship scholarships to students in the MetroWest Chamber’s member towns.Those communities include: Ashland, Bellingham, Dover, Framingham, Franklin, Holliston, Hopedale, Hopkinton, Hudson, Marlborough, Medfield, Medway, Millis, Milford, Natick, Northborough, Sherborn, Southborough, Sudbury, Wayland, Wellesley, Weston and Westborough.

In 2015, there will be an additional scholarship for a student that wishes to pursue early childhood education, said Biocchi.

The Foundation has earmarked $1,000 to that scholarship.
