The Central Tech Foundation hosted its 19th annual Ron Vandever Memorial Golf Tournament on Monday, September 22, raising more than $40,000 to support students in need. The milestone event, held at Buffalo Rock Golf & Venue in Cushing, OK, welcomed 35 teams and 134 golfers across two flights. Proceeds benefit Central Tech students facing financial hardships.
Each year, the Foundation provides emergency support for students with professional clothing, training supplies, tuition, transportation, medical needs, and other unexpected expenses. Over the past year alone, more than $45,000 was distributed to 141 students across 34 communities.
“This tournament is proof of what happens when a community comes together,” said Kent Burris, Central Tech Superintendent. “Local businesses and friends step up year after year to make sure our students have what they need to stay in school, earn their certifications, start great careers, and ultimately achieve success.”
