$233,430 was raised from the tournament, in support for children's education. Sunshine, blue skies, and generous supporters made for a very successful day! M.O.S.T. is so grateful for the many contributions from sponsors and participants. The donations will go towards providing equal educational opportunity for Memphis children.
M.O.S.T. fulfills its mission of providing scholarships through the generosity of founder and board chair Robert M. Solmson, Children’s Scholarship Fund, and a growing number of other friends: individuals, groups, foundations, and corporations. In a city that ranks #1 for the number of people with no education, supporters of M.O.S.T. want a more hopeful and opportunistic future for Memphis. Creating educational opportunity that leads to graduation and a lifetime of academic appreciation is the goal of these changemakers because it takes future generations out of a path of poverty and crime.
M.O.S.T. matches the demonstrated commitment of families with educational choices that line up with their child’s learning potential. We work hard to keep administrative costs low so that as much of the funding as possible can go directly to scholarships. In fact, the support of board members and the proceeds from this annual golf tournament underwrite administrative costs so other unrestricted gifts are directed to scholarships for students.
