This release just in from the Marvin Lewis Community Fund:

The Marvin Lewis Community Fund raised more than $500,000 at the Marvin Lewis Golf Classic presented by Cincinnati Bell on May 20.

"While the weekend had many stars, plenty of birdies and lots of great tastes on the golf course, it was really about fulfilling the mission of the Marvin Lewis Community Fund: to empower, educate, and inspire individuals in the Greater Cincinnati region.

"Eight individuals in particular felt the influence of the Community Fund as they were each awarded four- year, $20,000 college scholarships. Cherrell Albertson of Little Miami High School (Xavier University), Anna Donovan of Ursuline Academy (Ohio State University), Heather Kunze of Seton High School (Ohio Dominican University), Tyler Oehlman of East Central High School (Purdue University), Sibongile Sithe of Summit Country Day (Yale University), Jerald Stuckey of Purcell Marian High School (Johnson C. Smith University), Alexandra Warner of Roger Bacon High School (University of Cincinnati), and Robin Wright of Walnut Hills High School (Kent State University) were each awarded scholarships. The eight recipients this year increases the Fund's total number of scholarships awarded to 16 in three years."
