Dear Community Partners, Sponsors, and Supporters,
The Dr. James W. Bridges golf fundraiser was started by Charles Delane (CSU 60’) over 20 years ago as a way for CSU alumni residing in Florida to network and play golf during the annual Florida Everglades Alumni chapter’s “Weekend of Tropical Elegance” meetings. The Weekend of Tropical Elegance was originally held during President’s Day holiday weekend, where the alumni gather to discuss university issues, meet with / recruit potential students seeking a college degree and enjoy socializing with fellow alumni and friends.
What started as a “golf outing” has now become the signature fundraiser that benefits the Dr. James W. Bridges Scholarship Fund for Florida students attending CSU. Dr. Bridges, a CSU and MeHarry Medical College graduate became the first Black doctor to gain residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami in 1966.
For more information about this event please contact John Simpson at jrs121550@gmail.com.
On behalf of the Central State University Everglades Alumni Chapter and the Dr. James W. Bridges Scholarship Fund, we thank you in advance for your support!
