NEWPORT –– Orleans Country Club hosted the annual scholarship classic fundraiser last Sunday. Players enjoyed the scramble format, with a special air cannon (sponsored by Lavallee Brensinger Architects), and a great meal with winning teams announced afterwards.
This charity event enables the continued awarding of scholarships to students pursuing an education in healthcare.

Each June at local high school graduation time, North Country Hospital awards $1,000 scholarships to students pursuing a degree in various healthcare fields of study, including nursing, pharmacy, radiology, physical therapy, and lab technology to name a few.
Each year provided these students stay within the healthcare field and accomplish at least a 3.0 GPA their scholarship is renewed. This results in about $40,000 benefitting 40 students each year, all coming from the hospital foundation’s fundraising efforts.
