The Flagler County Education Foundation held the fourth annual Joe Rizzo Memorial Golf Classic on April 7 at Grand Haven Golf Club in Palm Coast.
The event raises money for Flagler Schools' Classroom to Careers programs and honors the enduring legacy of former Ed Foundation executive director Joe Rizzo.
"His dedication to the students of Flagler County continues to inspire the community to come together and invest in their future," the Ed Foundation said in a press release.
Participants enjoyed a perfect day of golf that included games, food and drink at every hole, a silent auction and 50/50 raffle. A highlight of the day was the golf ball launcher.
"We are deeply grateful to all the participants, sponsors and volunteers who made this event such a memorable and impactful day, the press release said. "This year's Classic built upon the success of previous years, continuing to be a premier fundraising event for the Flagler County Education Foundation."
