We spotted Caddie Scholar alum, Ryan Rodriguez at this year’s French American challenge Am Am between the MGA and Ligue de Golf de Paris.

Ryan was there capturing and sharing content for his longtime friend and colleague, Christian Cavaliere, who’s representing for team Met Area.

Love seeing our alums stay connected to golf in so many different ways 👏

NEWS: We’re so humbled to share that we’ve received a generous gift from one of our newer alums. 💙
 
Justin Hanratty, who recently reconnected with The Fund, has committed a $100,000 Legacy Donation through his employer to support future generations of MGACSF recipients.
 
Hanratty said: “I chose to support the MGA Caddie Scholarship Fund because it played a significant role in shaping both my personal and professional life. Many of the habits that have helped me succeed professionally today were first developed on the golf course, including work ethic, accountability, attention to detail, and relationship-building. These were lessons that weren’t and couldn’t be taught in a classroom.”
 
We’d like to extend our deepest gratitude to Justin for his generosity and say how grateful we are to have him in our MGACSF family. 🫶

The MGA Caddie Scholarship Fund held its annual meeting at Wykagyl Country Club on Thursday where its leadership recapped the year, reviewed financials, brainstormed ideas to boost alumni engagement, and welcomed its newest staff member.

Kelci Henn started in the fall as Manager of the Caddie Scholarship Fund. In her role, she'll play an instrumental part in the efforts to grow and strengthen The Fund. She'll manage operations and coordinate activities, goals, and objectives while being on-site for MGACSF events.

"It is inspiring to be part of a mission that creates opportunities for students through the game of golf, and I look forward to continuing to work alongside such a passionate team," Henn said.

She added: "In just over a month, I have already had the opportunity to see firsthand the dedication and hard work that goes into making a meaningful difference in the lives of scholars throughout the area."

Join us in welcoming Kelci to the team 🙌

An outstanding day for an even better cause. 🙌

The MGACSF held its 12th annual Friends of The Fund outing this week, bringing together a community of people supporting The Fund with the goal of continuing its impact.

Big thanks to GlenArbor Golf Club for hosting and to our sponsors, Corcoran Centric Realty along with Redemption Wh**ky and Deutsch Family W**e. Without them, it wouldn't have been possible.

The same be can said for everyone who showed up. Those who believe in our mission and extend their generosity are vital to what we do.

Former Siwanoy caddie Alonso Barrantes and his brother were able to make family history with the help of the MGACSF.

Now, Barrantes is excelling in the financial industry after graduating from Liberty University.

We’re so proud to see where life has taken him 🙌
