Director Richard Snyder has announced the “Snyder Cup” trophy winners of the 16th annual Glendale Education Foundation Golf Tournament fundraiser held on June 11, 2021, at Eagles Ridge Golf Club in Lumber City. With a score of 60 in the scramble format event, the foursome of Brett Miller, Bucky Miller, Rick Holes, and Dan Holes finished first, narrowly defeating the second-place team of Sajak McCusker, Mark Noel, John Snyder and Tom Terza, who shot a 61.
Proximity winners were: Long Drives – Justin Dudurich (Fairway #1), Dan Hoover (#18); Longest Putts – Logan Cree (Hole #3), Tyler Holes (#7) and Justin Dudurich (#15); Closest to the Pin – Joe Dick (Hole #17); and Closest 2nd Shot– Josh Beltowski (Hole #9) and Justin Dudurich (Hole #11). The entire foursome of Tyler, Irvin, Jacob and Tannor Holes was selected as “Best Dressed Golfer(s)”. The Glendale Education Foundation netted a profit of over $13,500 in proceeds. “I am humbled by the enormous generosity of our business community, organizations, alumni and individuals” Snyder stated. “This largest total of 131 sponsors, combined with a maximum contingent of 100 very charitable golfers, has provided our foundation with the funding to greatly assist our overall budget of allocations. Our foundation will utilize this money in a myriad of established and new programs to both enhance the learning opportunities and also reward academic success of the students of Glendale School District. It’s wonderful to see so many step up financially, through this golf event, to help us assist the school children who have lost so much academically, emotionally and enrichment-wise the past two school years in the grips of the COVID pandemic.” A new record total of $10,600 was donated by these 131 sponsors this year: All in A Day’s Play; Altoona Mirror; Altoona Lung Specialists; Andrew Starr Realtor; Anthonic Lumber; Beccaria Township Supervisors; Bee Kind Winery; Betsy G.
