ST. LOUIS, MO – Kwame Foundation will host its 17th Annual Golf Tournament on Thursday, August 19, 2021 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Topgolf in Chesterfield. Proceeds will fund scholarships for students who otherwise might not attend college because of financial constraints.
Kwame Foundation endows approximately $150,000 a year in scholarships and grants at colleges and universities that improve educational opportunities for minorities and first-generation, college-bound students. The foundation also sponsors an annual Spring Break tour of Historically Black Colleges and Universities for local students.
Individual entry for the tournament, lunch and event is $500 and non-golfer participation is $100. Participants have the chance to win the $25,000 Hole-in-One prize.
