The Griffin-Spalding Partners in Education (PIE) raised over $2o,000 during its 23rd annual golf tournament to benefit the teachers and students of the Griffin-Spalding County School System (GSCS). Twenty-seven teams played in the tournament held at the City Park Golf Course on Friday, November 1.
Proceeds from the tournament are used to fund classroom grants, field trip grants and teacher tuition reimbursement scholarships.
This year’s first-place team was EdTech12; the second-place team was UGA – Griffin Campus; and the third-place team was the Griffin Exchange Club.
GSCS Executive Director of Communications and Partnerships Adam Pugh said, “This is a great fundraising event that I look forward to every year.
