JACKSON TWP — The Seneca Valley Foundation will host a golf tournament this month at the Cranberry Highlands Golf Course to raise money for the Seneca Valley School District.

Proceeds from the Gift of Hope Golf Classic on Aug. 20 will go to STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — programs and early childhood literacy programs in the district.

At the school board meeting Monday night, Superintendent Tracy Vitale said the golf outing is a “pretty big event” and the first of its kind for the foundation, which was formed last year to do fundraising for the district.

More than 60 participants are registered, although organizers hope to have at least 72 signed up before the golfers hit the fairways.

In addition to golf, Vitale said there will be raffles and auctions for sports memorabilia and other items.

Vitale said entry fees are $175 per golfer.

To register, contact Linda Andreassi at 724-452-6040, Ext. 1612, at the district office.
