What: Driving Towards a Difference Golf Tournament

Where: Whiskey Creek Golf Club, Ijamsville, MD

When: Thursday, June 25, 2009

8AM – registration 9AM – shotgun start

Who: UMBI Foundation MdBio Foundation

Last year, UMBI raised enough proceeds to provide enhanced science education to over 1,000 student and teachers throughout the State of Maryland. Without this funding, they would not have had access to hands-on science learning. This year, we are joining MdBio Foundation, Inc. and hope to raise increased funds to benefit additional students across the state.

Our organizations are working to respond to the statewide need for more Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) educational programming thorough existing and planned programs. Your tax-deductible support will help continue these mobile laboratory and equipment loan programs throughout the state of Maryland. Funds raised by this tournament will directly support a unique alliance of two Maryland organizations working to improve science education in Maryland: UMBI and MdBio Foundation’s education and outreach programs, including the mobile bioscience laboratory MdBioLab and the equipment loan program LoanerLab.

So aside from being a great, fun event  for a good cause this is also a place to get some business done!  I met a future partner one year and played with an old acquaintance the year before, who just happened to be former Director of NIH’s Stem Cell Repository.
