The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Pharmacy raised more than $20,000 at its 7th annual golf scramble on Friday, Aug. 23. The event at Stonebridge Golf Course in Maryville raised funds for student scholarships.
“Pharmacy board members, corporate donors and recruiters, faculty, staff and students came together to make this year’s event our most successful ever,” said School of Pharmacy Dean Gireesh Gupchup. “The event’s success is directly related to the collective efforts of our golf committee and the generous support of the entire School of Pharmacy community.”
Matt Lewis, School of Pharmacy alum and pharmacy advisory board member, teamed with Gupchup as golf committee co-chairs. The committee recruited more than 120 golfers and 24 hole sponsors, who were treated to a sunny, fun-filled day complete with great food and an evening program.
Event sponsors included:
- Walgreens
- H.D. Smith
- CVS Caremark
- Metro-East Pharmacists Association
- Catered Affair
- Enclave
- Shop ’n Save
- Gateway East Pharmacy Association
More than 30 community businesses and individuals contributed contest prizes, goodie bag items, sponsorships and raffle prizes.
