Smoky Hill Education Foundation’s 27th annual “Scramble for Schools” Golf Tournament attracted over 100 participants on May 28.

The annual fundraiser brings in thousands of dollars to help Smoky Hill Education Service Center provide education services to more than 50 school districts in Kansas. A tradition nearly as old as Smoky Hill ESC itself, the tournament at the Salina Municipal Golf Course has grown to be one of the largest in the area.

Hundreds of door prizes from generous area donors went to the participants, including the grand prize of a suite experience at a Wichita Wind Surge baseball game donated by Hutton Construction!

Other top prizes included a gift certificate for a 4-person golf cart rental at the Salina Country Club ($450 value), a gift card to SKY/LEAP Entertainment ($250 value), and a 3-month unlimited MVP membership at Club Car Wash ($120 value).

Prizes also went to the top golfers during the luncheon that concluded the tournament. The highest-ranking teams were as follows:
