The 4^th Annual Leo P. Bourgeois Memorial Golf Tournament has been scheduled for Friday, October 11^th at the Adirondack Golf & Country Club in Peru.  Proceeds of the tournament fund scholarships in Mr. Bourgeois’ name for Peru Central School students.  Mr. Bourgeois or Mr. B as he was affectionately known was a highly respected and much loved guidance counselor at Peru Central School for many years.  PCS alumni established the scholarship fund as a fitting tribute to a man who spent his life reaching out to students motivating them to be the best students possible for a brighter future.  Since the tournament’s inception in 2010, six scholarships totaling $6,600 have been awarded to deserving PCS seniors, each pursuing a degree in post-secondary education.

Entry fee for the four-person scramble tournament is $65 per person or $260 per team ($56 per person for Adirondack Golf & Country Club members) which includes greens fees, golf cart, gift bags, awards and a hors d’oeuvres reception following the tournament.  Non-golfers and alumni are encouraged to attend the reception at a cost of $20.00 per person. Volunteers for the day of the tournament are also needed.

The cost to become a tournament sponsor is $50 to $150.  Donations of any amount are also gratefully accepted. For more information about the tournament, entering a team, becoming a sponsor, donor or to volunteer, contact Cheryl Breen Randall at 524-1192 or by email at cbreenlp@gmail.com.
