The SAME 26th Annual Education & Mentoring Fund Golf Tournament was held on October 3rd, 2025, at the Courses at Forest Park. As in years past, all who attended enjoyed themselves and we raised a significant amount of money. Thanks to the generosity of all our players and sponsors in the A/E and Federal communities, this year we were able to contribute close to $13,200 to the Post’s Education & Mentoring Fund! This event is the primary source of funding for SAME scholarships, high school summer campers, SAVE training, Student Chapter, as well as sponsoring other education and mentoring programs. This is the most money ever raised, supported by 112 golfers and 20 sponsors. Thanks to all those that participated and sponsored. Mark your calendar for next year’s tournament, which is scheduled for Friday, October 2nd, 2026.
