Marco Police Foundation Fundraiser Supports Scholarships

The Island Country Club welcomed 120 golfers to its facilities last Saturday, as the community came out to support the Marco Island Police Foundation and the men and women in blue. Golfers enjoyed a great day of golf and a wonderful luncheon. The club professionals tallied up the best scores of the day while numerous raffles and drawings were held to continue to grow the scholarship fund. 

The Foundation supports the scholarship fund, which assists the children of officers who choose to further their educational pursuits at either the collegiate level or through various trade schools here in Florida. That same program is open to their parents, who also choose to further their education as they strive to improve their positions within the department. 

“Our Foundation is committed to providing officers with a portion of the financial aid necessary to reach those goals,” said Foundation President Michael Hook. “Our success in meeting those goals wouldn’t be possible though if it wasn’t for the support of organizations such as the Island Country Club and other businesses and community organizations, along withthe citizens of Marco, who over the years have been steadfast supporters of the Foundation and its goal of providing the support for our men and women who answer when called upon to meet the needs of our citizens and visitors.”
