PRESQUE ISLE, Maine – The 17th annual TD Bank Golf Tournament to benefit the NMCC Foundation took place on August 15 at the Presque Isle Country Club. This year’s event raised $14,851 to support students at Northern Maine Community College, drawing the largest number of teams since 2019. A total of 21 teams, comprising 88 golfers, teed off in the annual scramble.
The partnership between the College and TD Bank began in 2006 and has raised $314,824 to date for scholarship funds. “Thank you to the local employers who registered teams and spent the day supporting our cause. This tournament raises funds for students facing financial barriers, and our community recognizes the value of helping students reach their goals,” stated NMCC Dean of Development Griffin Goins. “We could not make this event happen without the support of TD Bank and all of our generous sponsors.”
