The Eastern Florida State College (EFSC) Foundation announced that its 2026 Scholarship Golf Classic raised more than $165,000 to support student scholarships, setting a new fundraising record for the event.

Held Nov. 6 at Rockledge Country Club, the tournament brought together 28 teams from across Brevard County for a day of golf, community engagement, and philanthropy, with all proceeds benefiting student scholarships at EFSC.

"I am continually inspired by the generosity of our community, and this year's EFSC Foundation Golf Classic was another wonderful example of people coming together to make a difference in the lives of our students," said Eastern Florida State College President Dr. Jim Richey. "I would like to especially thank this year's Signature Sponsor, Community Credit Union, and all of our generous sponsors who supported the event. Every sponsorship and donation contributes to scholarship opportunities that help our students stay focused on their education and achieve their dreams."
