Washington Township Education Foundation Prepares for
12th Annual Golf Classic

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP -Participants and sponsors are encouraged to sign up for the Washington Township Education Foundation's 12th Annual Golf Classic to benefit the Washington Township Public Schools. The event will be hosted, rain or shine, on Friday, May 2, 2008, at the Wedgwood Country Club in Turnersville, N.J. Registration and lunch will precede a 1:00 p.m. shotgun start for the scramble-formatted outing. A cash bar, dinner and an awards ceremony, along with prizes and giveaways, will complete the afternoon.

Individual golfers can register at a cost of $125. Sponsorship opportunities and special prices for corporate foursomes are available. To obtain a registration form or to secure additional information, please contact Classic Chairman Gary Knight at 856-816-2199 or Publicity Chairperson Jan Giel at 856-589-6644, x6550 or via email at jgiel@wtps.org.

Proceeds from the WTEF 12th Annual Golf Classic will be used to offset the cost of numerous worthwhile WTEF activities and sponsorships. Since 1996, the WTEF has diversified educational opportunities for the nearly 10,000 students who attend Washington Township schools. To date, the WTEF has donated over $300,000 to bring in noted professional and multi-cultural programs, establish the Renaissance Program at WTHS, fund a student art gallery, dance studio and greenhouse. In addition, the WTEF has supported the High School Marching Band, Project Graduation and most recently issued 100 mini-grants to staff members.

Not a golfer? Individuals can still lend their support to the Golf Classic by attending a post-golf reception for a cost of $45 or by making a tax deductible donation.
