2nd Annual Eddy School
Golf Classic & Live Music
Show your support by golfing or sponsoring a tee sign!
Sunday, August 5th
Celebrate the opportunity to give local students who will thrive at The Eddy School the freedom to attend without financial constraints and show your support for allowing families in our community the choice to choose the best educational option for their children . We all know that not every student thrives in the same setting.
The festival starts with an 18 hole golf scramble followed by a BBQ supper and live music. All proceeds will go directly to The Eddy School’s Scholarship Fund for tuition, after school programming, and summer day camps.
