Golfers and non-golfers alike are invited to participate in Hesston College’s sixth annual National Golf Benefit for Student Scholarships. Golfers can enjoy a break from the winter cold and golf in the four-person scramble at 12:30 p.m., Saturday, March 28 at The 500 Club in Glendale, Ariz. Non-golfers are invited to join the fun by purchasing raffle tickets for exciting prizes valued at more than $20,000.
Proceeds from the benefit go to the Hesston College Student Scholarship Fund, which provides financial aid in the form of institutional scholarships and grants. Each year, Hesston College awards more than $2.5 million in student tuition assistance.
