The annual spring golf tournament, held by the SaddleBrooke Ranch Men’s Golf Association, resulted in a large contribution of $6,500 to the scholarship program of SaddleBrooke Community Outreach. The event included sale of raffle tickets as well as dinner tickets. Frank Sciannella and his committee were recognized for their hard and profitable work. Dave Bott was responsible for sponsor and individual donations.

The guest speaker was a scholarship recipient, Aubrianne Estrada, who spoke about the benefits of an SBCO scholarship in part because the members take significant time to talk with the recipients and get to know them and their strengths.

A typical scholarship is $1,500 for a year, with a possible renewal for three more years based on grades. This gift makes it possible to ensure that the current eligible applicants will be honored with a scholarship during their May graduation exercises.

This association has presented SBCO with other donations from past community golf events. We remain grateful for their support of our education programs.
