“Last year, the ECC Foundation golf tournament raised more than $50 thousand dollars,” says Tameka Kenan-Norman, executive director of public information and institutional advancement at ECC. “All of the funds raised provide student scholarships and support the operations of the ECC Foundation. With the support of local companies, golf enthusiasts, ECC alumni and many others in this community, we hope to surpass last year’s fundraising total.”
