MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Center for Academically Talented Youth (WCATY) is holding its first ever golf outing Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2006, at The Oaks Golf Course in Cottage Grove, Wis.
Proceeds from the event will benefit WCATY’s Children of Promise Outreach in Madison and Milwaukee. Children of Promise provides programs, services and scholarships to talented students from disadvantaged homes. Minority and low-income students remain underrepresented nationally in advanced courses and gifted programs. WCATY Children of Promise participants are successfully completing rigorous courses, setting college and career goals, and reporting that they are determined to break the cycle of poverty that could have kept them from realizing their potential.
The outing will tee off at 11:00 a.m. The cost is $130 per golfer and includes lunch, 18 holes of golf, a cart, dinner, prizes, silent auction and raffle. A dinner only option is available for $30 per person. Sponsorship opportunities are available and silent auction items and raffle prizes are being accepted.
AnchorBank is a major sponsor of the event. For more information on sponsors, sponsorship opportunities, and silent auction and raffle prizes visit WCATY’s website: http://www.wcaty.org.
