Alumni and friends recently teed-off in support of the 15th annual United College golf tournament at Springfield Golf & Country Club, raising a record amount in support of the College’s outdoor amenities project.
Construction of the outdoor amenities, which will include an outdoor pavilion with a fire pit and barbeque, a basketball court/pickleball court/skating rink, is expected to wrap up mid-September, in time for the incoming cohort of students to enjoy.
Funds raised at the tournament will enhance the amenities and the student experience by allowing for the purchase of furniture and equipment such as Muskoka chairs, pickleball equipment, picnic tables, skates, and ice rink equipment, making the United College Green an even more inviting place for students across the University to build lasting connection and community.
Thank you to the approximately 150 alumni, staff, students, and friends who came together to make the golf tournament a huge success. Thanks to their hard work and generosity, United College is approximately $28,000 closer to turning the outdoor amenities dream into reality and shaping the College’s next 60 years of student success, social connection, and community.
See you on the United College Green.
