Round Rock ISD Partners in Education Foundation’s (PIEF) 25th Annual Golf Classic raised $193,500 for students and programs. With 36 participating teams and 144 golfers in a sold-out tournament, the “Beads and Birdies” themed event was held at the Golf Course at Star Ranch on Oct. 6.
HPM was the title sponsor, donating $15,000. Gold Sponsors included McCreary Veselka Bragg & Allen PC, Bartlett Cocke General Contractors, Cantu Harden Montoya LLP, Swinerton, Texas Roofing Co., Inc., and SAMCO Capital.
17 Eagle Sponsors, 11 Birdie Sponsors, 23 underwriters, and several in-kind sponsors who sponsored fun, on-course games, lunch, and more. Over $19,000 was contributed from local area businesses and families that stepped in to purchase hole sponsorships that were placed around the course.
“The Foundation continues to be blessed with the generous contributions of area business partners and individual donors who support public education,” said Marianne Reap, Round Rock ISD PIE Foundation’s Executive Director. “We continue to see an increase in the needs of so many students, staff, and teachers each year. Fundraisers like our Golf Classic help us fill the gaps that state funding does not support.”
