“Fore the Teachers” Golf Tournament a Big Success

The Neighborhood Outreach Connection (NOC) hosted the “Fore the Teachers” Golf Tournament on May 18 at Port Royal Plantation Golf Club – Planters Row Course — to raise money to support the dedicated teachers who participate in NOC’s after school programs in HHI and Bluffton.

Teachers are the backbone of NOC’s education program, which helps children in low-income neighborhoods improve their learning skills in math and language arts so that they can meet school standards and excel academically.

Many people helped to make this tournament a success by signing up to play; by spreading the word about the tournament; by encouraging friends to join in as well. Many of you also contributed by helping NOC identify sponsors who were willing to support the tournament through financial contributions. See Attachment below for tournament details.

Raising additional funds for teachers allows us to have more teachers participate, along with high school tutors and adult volunteers, thus providing quality and consistent support to children participating in NOC’s extended learning program. NOC’s after school program is vitally important for children in low-income neighborhoods who receive little support at home and have limited opportunities within their community.

We must invest in the children … they are our future. And teachers are our front-line warriors in promoting literacy and acquisition of information and knowledge.
