🎉 Congrats to Team TJ! 🎉

The Council Bluffs Schools Foundation hosted its annual Alumni & Friends Golf Tournament on Friday, July 25 at Dodge Riverside Golf Club, raising $20,000 to support students, teachers, and families in the Council Bluffs Community School District.

With 25 teams representing alumni, community partners, and friends of the district, the event combined friendly competition with a shared commitment to public education. Team TJ claimed victory in the spirited Abraham Lincoln vs. Thomas Jefferson rivalry.

We are so thankful to our Presenting Sponsor Cox Communications, along with our Community Impact Sponsors Google, Iowa Western Community College, John Dresher, American National Bank, and Joe Clanton with Better Homes and Gardens, and all of the volunteers who make this event a success year after year!
