The Putting Contest will begin at 7:00 a.m. on tournament day. The average cost of books and supplies for college students attending Cerro Coso Community College (CCCC) full time exceeds $600 per semester. Now, more than ever paying for textbooks is a financial struggle for students. The Cerro Coso Textbook Scholarship Program helps students to continue their education by offering qualified students the opportunity to receive funds for their books.
The CCCC Golf Tournament has raised more than $9,000 over the past three years for needed textbook scholarships. "True to our goals, six students were awarded scholarships this year to help defray the cost of books," stated Dave Cornell, co-chair of the Cerro Coso Golf Tournament.
Golf sponsorships are also available and offer opportunities for advertising and marketing as well as showing support for the goals of the College and Foundation. Cerro Coso invites all interested individuals to join in the fun, playing a game they love, while raising money for a worthy cause.
