UPPER BURRELL, Pa. -- It’s the dawning of a new era for the Alle-Kiski Society's Alumni Golf Scramble. The 17th annual edition will feature a new course, Arnold Palmer’s Latrobe Country Club, a new day, Monday, Aug. 1, and a new tee time, 12:30 p.m.
Co-hosted by Penn State New Kensington, the tournament is open to alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff and friends of Penn State. If his schedule permits, The King will be at the club to greet guests.
The $200 entry fee includes green fee and cart, lunch, dinner, refreshments and awards. Various sponsorship opportunities are available, ranging from a $5,000 tournament sponsor to a $200 tee sponsor.
The golf scramble is the society’s major fundraiser. Proceeds benefit the society's endowed scholarship that is awarded annually to New Kensington campus students. For the 2015-16 academic year, the Alle-Kiski Society awarded a record $5,500 in scholarships to four New Kensington campus students: Lynsie Headley of Ford City; Alissa Dolensky of Lower Burrell; Adis Juklo of Pittsburgh; and Carley Carnahan of Lower Burrell.
The endowment was established in 1994 at $15,000. It now stands at $109,000. Since 1998, the society has awarded $53,500 to 59 campus students.
