The ETC Foundation is excited to have celebrated its 11th Annual Golf Outing & Scholarship Dinner on July 18, 2022. Held this year at Commonwealth National Golf Course, the day started out hot– both in terms of the weather and the game play! The classic July temperatures didn’t keep 25 foursomes from bringing the heat on the course, though! Thank you to everyone who participated in the golf outing, and congratulations to Mitch Burns, Kyle Fiorelli, Bret Howey, and Connor Sheehan, this year’s winning team!
In addition to being a fun day out on the links, this event is also a great opportunity for our donors and friends to come together and support the work of the foundation, and for a special group of new high school graduates to be recognized for their incredible achievements and accept the scholarships awarded to them by this year\’s scholarship committee.
We’re delighted and proud to introduce this year’s scholarship and award recipients, all of whom completely wowed us with their accomplishments and drive to make a mark on the world:

Every outstanding candidate we identified also serves to honor the late Edward Taylor Coombs, who was an extraordinary young man that excelled academically, athletically, and civically. Thank you to all of our donors, sponsors, and supporters for contributing to the ETC Foundation so that we are able to award these amazing young people with funds to help offset costs in college. We see the light that shined in Edward in each one of them, and we have the greatest confidence in their opportunities for continued success in their future endeavors!
