The New York State Chapter, Inc., AGC Scholarship program is funded by our members through our annual Anthony S. Santaro AGC Scholarship Golf Classic; by individual member donations, and through endowments. The Tournament Committee meets quarterly to organize the one-day Golf Classic, which nets nearly $50,000 each year. That money is then turned over to the Scholarship & Student Chapters Committee, which is in charge of awarding the scholarships. Held each June, the Golf Classic attracts more than 200 participants. We offer a five-man scramble and a two-man best ball competition on separate courses. The full-day event begins with a late morning shotgun start. All golfers enjoyed a barbecue lunch on the course, then meet for cocktails, dinner, prizes and our famous auction. AGC members generously donate items for our player gifts packs (packages of tees, sleeves of balls, golf towels, etc.). They also donate items for our auction.
