Golf Invitational raises $60,000 for FSU Panama City

About 150 golfers participated in FSU Panama City's 27th Annual Golf Invitational benefiting FSU Panama City's Campus Enrichment on Friday, March 17, at Hombre Golf Resort. Golfers also were invited to campus Thursday, March 16, for a Pairings Party, which included a silent auction, food and drinks, and even a miniature golf set for the participants to practice their putting skills for big event the following day.

The golf tournament kicked off at 7 a.m. for all volunteers as the two-round tournament took way.

Thursday's silent auction helped to raise about $3,000 for the fund, which allows the campus to pay for events, student conference expenses and lab equipment. The campus has also recently used this fund to help students pay for textbooks when needed.

In all, the two-day event grossed in over $60,000.

FSU Panama City is grateful for all the sponsors, volunteers and participants who all contributed to another great year for the golf tournament.
