The Hesse Companies are the main sponsor of the event, which raises funds for scholarships that are awarded annually to graduating Manchester Township High School students to help them pursue their education further. The fundraiser also helps to support the foundation's annual grant program that provides equipment and other assistance to classrooms throughout the school district. MTEF classroom grants have funded iPads for special learning programs and unique field trip opportunities to Island Beach State Park.

The foundation still has opportunities for smaller sponsors at levels from $25 to $3,500, according to the golf outing webpage. Click here for more information.

"Your support will help us to continue and expand our school grant and scholarship programs," the foundation said.
