A new scholarship, administered through the Wichita State University Foundation, will benefit from the Stephanie McCart Memorial Golf Tournament.

The event will begin at 8 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, at Wedgewood Golf Course, 9007 W. 1st St. in Halstead, Kan.

The 18-hole, four-person scramble costs $150 per four-member team. That includes lunch and two carts. Prizes will be awarded and other contests will be held throughout the day.

All tournament proceeds will go to WSU’s Stephanie McCart Memorial Teaching Scholarship, which was established in an effort to provide WSU students the opportunity to begin their teaching careers and positively affect children for generations to come.

McCart, a WSU College of Education student, was only 22 when she died on March 14, 2009, in a car accident. She was set to graduate in May 2009. The McCart family established the scholarship in her memory and also is host of the golf tournament.

Hole sponsorship is available at three levels: Silver-$50; Gold-$100; and Platinum-$150.

Every hole sponsor will receive recognition at the tee box. Platinum sponsors will also receive recognition in the clubhouse and on all literature. Corporate sponsors may also become T-shirt sponsors for $200. Their logo will be displayed on the T-shirts.
