The Flagler County Education Foundation's third annual Joe Rizzo Memorial Golf Classic raised over $50,000 to support Flagler Schools' Classroom to Careers programs, according to an Ed Foundation press release.

More than 100 community members participated in the golf event on April 8 at Grand Haven Golf Club in Palm Coast. The money raised will impact over 4,000 students in the district's Classroom to Careers programs, according to the press release.

The Classroom to Careers coaching program has benefited from community mentors "who identify value in investing in the future of Flagler students through programs and experiences that address a diverse composition of student and family needs," the release stated.

The Ed Foundation has partnered with the Palm Coast-Flagler County Regional Chamber of Commerce, Flagler County Schools, AdventHealth, Chiumento Law, Quantum Electric, United Way and many other local business owners to help support Flagler Schools' programs.

The golf tournament provided friendly competition and networking opportunities, food vendors throughout the course, a silent auction, an awards ceremony and a golf ball launcher making it a memorable experience for all involved.
