The Dothan Education Foundation (DEF) is preparing to host its annual Morris Slingluff Memorial Golf Tournament. The tournament will be held on Monday, June 8th at the Dothan Country Club. The DEF has provided over $350,000 to the Dothan City Schools System through its teacher grant program. Last year we surpassed our goal and awarded twenty-three classroom projects that otherwise would not have been funded. The goal for this year is $40,000 back to our schools.Some of the projects funded last year were career software for the Accelerated Recovery Program, The Clothes Closet at the Dothan Technology Center, drum sets & hand chimes for music classes and an assortment of technological devices throughout entire system. This program encourages teachers to think outside of the box and bring creative ideas into their classroom. Community support in this tournament will continue to foster educational success for our students and grow creative classrooms.
Community and tournament sponsors this year are Michelin North America - Dothan Team, Slingluff United Insurance, CapsouthPartners ,the Tom Ziegenfelder Family, as well as numerous golf hole sponsors and team sponsors.
