SEPTEMBER 20-26, 2023 UCW 9
Fayetteville Technical
Community College is inviting
community members to "swing"
by the annual FTCC Foundation
Golf Tournament on Sept. 28, with
proceeds going toward scholarship
opportunities and emergency
assistance for its students.
"It's just an opportunity for folks
to come out and interact with our
students, our faculty and our staff
and raise money for a good cause,"
said Sandy Ammons, executive
director of the FTCC Foundation.
e tournament will begin at 9
a.m. at Gates Four Golf & Country
Club and feature meals from Chick-
Fil-A, Jersey Mike's and a breakfast
sponsored by Berkshire Hathaway,
Ammons said.
"It will be a beautiful day of
golf. We will have lots of food and
refreshments throughout the day,"
Ammons said.
e FTCC Foundation Golf
Tournament has been around for
over 25 years, Ammons said, and
has raised more than $1 million for
students over this time.
Ammons said the golf
tournament remains a great way
for community members to meet
Fayetteville Tech students, socialize
and enjoy the sport.
Many community members
throughout Cumberland County
have ties to FTCC, Ammons said,
and the tournament provides an
opportunity for folks to give back to
support students who continue to
prepare to enter into the workforce.
"Really just about everybody in
Cumberland County is either an
alum of FTCC or works with or
knows an alum of FTCC," Ammons
said. "We graduate so many
students in so many different fields
and I think people really appreciate
the workforce development that we
do."
Ammons said she hopes at the
conclusion of the tournament
that those participating have had
a pleasant time mingling with
members of the FTCC community
and can enjoy having supported
those seeking an education in their
county.
"I hope that they take away that
they have done a good thing to
support students who are seeking
an education and just realize how
much they enjoyed interacting with
our staff," Ammons said.
Cape Fear Valley Health and
Mercedes-Benz of Fayetteville
remain sponsors of the event.
