On May 14, 2010, golfers, sponsors, and volunteers gathered to enjoy the 18th Annual Johnson College Open. Proceeds from this annual golf tournament benefit the College’s Presidential Scholarship Fund. This year, over $25,000 was raised, allowing the College to provide financial aid to three qualified and deserving students.
The 18th Annual Johnson College Open took place at Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club in Mountaintop. The sun emerged after some morning rain, giving way to an ideal day for golf. Thirty teams, made up of over one hundred and thirty golfers, participated in the event. This included a record number of twelve Johnson College Alumni. The tournament’s winning team was Team Shea Demolition, comprised of Joseph Shea ‘85, Andy Olexavitch, John Connell, and John Hayduk ’74. This marks the second consecutive year Team Shea Demolition has won the tournament.
After the tournament, sponsors joined Dr. Ann L. Pipinski, President and CEO of Johnson College, in congratulating this year’s Presidential Scholarship recipients — Christina Skorupa ‘12, Dylan Harhut ‘12, and Carly Leach ’12. The three incoming students are extremely grateful for this financial assistance and eager to start classes this fall.
Ms. Leach states, “I would like to express my sincere thanks to all those who made it possible for me to receive the Presidential Scholarship. I am so grateful for this opportunity to further my education. Your generosity has enabled me to look forward to a brighter future and will not go unappreciated.”

Great site, added your site to my favorites. thanks
Bravo $25,000 Johnson College Presidential Scholarship Fund.
Congratulations to the winners and the organizers. Looks like a fantastic golf event.
It’s always nice to hear about Golf fundraisers. Great article, thanks!
Its great to see the support you received from your sponsors. I even noticed a roofing contractor listed among them as well as several others in the construction industry.
Way to go…us roofing guys could use a little more positive PR!
It’s great to hear that there are still some people willing to sponsor these kinds of events and that so much can still be raised even during a recession. I guess it goes to show how we can really pull together and make sure our youth get the kind of education they need.
Wow this is brilliant, looked like the event was an absolute success
Yep!
Anytime you have a fundraiser involving golf, that’s where you’ll find the roofing contractor. Love to give back.
So happy for your successful event.

Congratulations on raising so much money for a worth cause. It’s always a good thing with someone can play golf to raise money for a wonderful organization. I applaud all who were involved. I am looking to do a similar fund raiser for a charity I’m involved with and you’ve given me great hope for success.
