“Tee it up for Education” 

Golf Tournament

On August 8, 2011 the Montville Education Foundation, Inc (MEF) held its 3rd annual “Tee it up for Education” Golf Tournament at River Ridge Golf Course in Griswold. It was a hot, beautiful day of golf, with great people at a fun course, followed by an awards dinner at the River Ridge Restaurant and all for a great community cause – it doesn't get much better than that!

“Tee it up for Education”, is the MEF annual fundraiser and to date, has generated more than $26,000 in three years. The money raised with the Golf Tournament is used to support the MEF's Grant Program, which makes innovative educational grants and cultural programs available to the Montville community.  The grants touch the lives of residents of all ages.

This golf tournament has brought in over 100 golfers from the Montville community, golfers from around the State, the Montville school district staff, organization sponsors and corporate sponsors. We have also enjoyed great support from our business community whose generous donations (worth more than $3,500) became prizes for our door prizes and silent auction. Our Montville business community has truly come through for us each year!
