235 friends of Worcester State University, including alumni and community leaders alike, teed off on June 1 for a day of golf, camaraderie, and giving back. Hosted at Wachusett Country Club and Kettle Brook Golf Club, the 33rd Worcester State Foundation Board Golf Tournament raised more than $100,000 to support student scholarships and educational programming.
“The Foundation Golf Tournament continues to be one of Worcester State’s most meaningful traditions, bringing together alumni, community leaders, and business partners in support of our students,” said Tom McNamara ’94, vice president of University Advancement. “Every year, this event demonstrates the power of the Worcester State community to invest in student success while strengthening the relationships that connect the university to the region we serve.”
