The Southern Illinois Egyptian Officials Association and the Southern Illinois Coaches Association held their 22nd Annual Scholarship Golf Outing this past summer to benefit students of Southern Illinois High Schools with the cost of their education.
With the support of corporate sponsors - Legence Bank, Clearwave Fiber, House 2 Home Realty, Donnewald Distributors, Southern Illinois Healthcare, Lee's Sporting Goods, and numerous local hole sponsors, this outing raised $21,000 with all the money going back to high school students for help with their college expenses. In the twenty-two years the officials and coaches have worked together on this outing, they have raised over $411,000.00. This year, 28 local schools received scholarships.
