Through community outreach and recognition for academic excellence, BEST awards various grants to schools and teachers, and also offers scholarships to students, teachers and paraprofessionals.
Each year, the group holds a charity tournament at Firewheel Golf Park to help generate these funds. Overall, more than $200,000 has been raised.
Beautiful weather has become the norm for BEST tournament play and this year was no different. According to Keith Reimer, BEST program specialist, comments were again extremely positive. Reimer has noticed, however, that public support of GISD remains strong no matter the elements or the economy.
“The weather could not have been better,” he said. “We had a great day supporting the students and staff of GISD. The continued support of our main sponsors has remained strong over the years.They always show up – whether economy is good, or bad.”
