Golfers can hit the links to support Heartland Community College student athletes and programs this June. 

Heartland Community College Foundation is looking for players and sponsors for the Heartland Athletics Scholarship Scramble Golf Outing on Thursday, June 23 at the Den at Fox Creek (3002 Fox Creek Road, Bloomington, IL). 

The golf outing raises funding for Heartland Community College Athletics programs and scholarships. The outing will be in a four person scramble format and registration includes golf cart and greens fees, entry for prizes and raffle, eligibility for competition awards, and a catered lunch.

Heartland Community College has sports programs in Baseball, Softball, Women’s Volleyball, Men’s Golf, Men’s and Women’s Cross Country, Men’s and Women’s Soccer, and the co-ed Esports team. 

In the field of play, HCC Athletics programs have much recent success including a NJCAA Division II National Championship for Women’s Soccer, as well as trips to National Championship tournament play for the Golf, Baseball, Men’s and Women’s Cross Country, and Volleyball teams over the last academic year.  In the classroom student athletes have also excelled, posting a group GPA for the year of 3.25, which is the highest in school history. 

“We have seen great support for our programs and student athletes here at Heartland,” said Athletics Director Ryan Knox. “We are so grateful that the Heartland Community College Foundation has extended their help to our programs to create this event and reach out to the public in a way that invites current and new supporters to join us in a fun event.” 

Check in for the golf outing begins at 10:00 a.m. on June 23 with an 11:00 a.m. shotgun start. Team registration is $400 or $100 per player.
