$30,000 For Scholarship Fund Expected From Building Bridges Golf Outing

6682More than $30,000 is expected to be raised at the 19th Annual Building Bridges Golf Outing tomorrow, July 24, at the Greystone Golf Club in Romeo, Mich. Proceeds from the event, along with other donations received throughout the year, will help fund 20 full-ride scholarships at Notre Dame Prep at an annual cost of more than $125,000.
 
"Most of the scholarship recipients are from Pontiac and they are always talented young men and women, yet without financial means," said Building Bridges founder Paul Housey, who is a Notre Dame high School alum, Class of 1988. "NDP is an incredible partner to Building Bridges, covering half of the total tuition cost and making the outreach to these financially challenged families a core part of their mission."
 
The Building Bridges organization's work has included helping to educate school children through its school-based program, ongoing mentoring activities with children at Christ Child House in Detroit and an annual holiday gifting program that provides hundreds of gifts to children whose families cannot afford even a single gift. 
 
According to Housey, Building Bridges also recognizes that thousands of caring adults in the area are looking for a way to give back to their community by sharing their time, their talents, their knowledge, their experience, their hard work and their positive spirit with these children.
