The ACC Foundation has made the difficult decision to cancel the annual Golf Scramble in 2023 as its Board of Directors remains focused on a capital-giving campaign. The Scramble will return in fall 2024.

In the meantime, donations are always encouraged for the college’s Student Emergency Fund (SEF). The fund supports students continuing in school when faced with a catastrophic situation. Students can use the funds for unforeseen emergencies during the semester, such as unexpected medical expenses, loss of housing, car repairs, and more. Research has shown that when colleges quickly pay these unforeseen, emergency bills on behalf of students, more low-income college students stay enrolled and on track for graduation.

A flat tire, dead battery, medical emergency, or even a missed shift at work can be all it takes to knock a student off track. Data show any unexpected financial hardship can force a student to drop a class unexpectedly. Austin Community College District (ACC) works to prevent this from happening by offering rapid financial relief through the college’s Student Emergency Fund (SEF). 

You can support the SEF at the 17th Annual Golf Scramble. All proceeds benefit the Student Emergency Fund. 

Participants can register as an individual or foursome. All entries include greens fees, carts, beverages, breakfast, lunch, and prizes. Sponsorships also are available.
