 Korean War Veterans Chapter #142 Annual Golf Tournament
Raises Over $8,000 for Scholarship Fund

July 26, 2007: No matter how far away the players were from par, June 21st was a successful day of golf for participants hoping to raise money to support The Korean War Veterans Chapter #142 Scholarship Fund held by The Community Foundation of Frederick County.

The 6th Annual Golf Tournament was held at Glade Valley Golf Course in Walkersville, where 80 golfers participated. The event’s success was ensured by the support of numerous sponsors, including Shumaker Roofing, this year’s Corporate Sponsor.

“Over $8,000 was raised during this year’s Golf Tournament,” says Bob Mount, Treasurer of Chapter #142. “That’s nearly $2,000 more than last year’s tournament.”

The Korean War Veterans Chapter #142 Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to students who are direct bloodline descendants of those who served in the United States military and who are eligible for membership in the Korean War Veterans Association. To date, 10 scholarships have been awarded to deserving students.

Mr. Mount says that the Veterans are grateful for the help they have received and are proud of what they have accomplished through the Fund. “To see our fundraising increase from about $2,700 in the first year to almost $9,000 this year is quite a testament to the patriotic feelings of the business and professional community of Frederick County.”

Proceeds from both the golf tournament and individual contributions continue to help The Korean War Veterans Chapter #142 Scholarship Fund grow, making future scholarships possible. Donations may be made payable to The Community Foundation of Frederick County, 312 East Church Street, Frederick, MD 21701. Insert the Fund’s name in the check’s memo line.
