Scholarship Program

LIKE PEAS AND CARROTS – GOLF AND SCHOLARSHIPS GO TOGETHER

Bankers, bank customers, IBC associate members and state representatives Diane Hoppe and Ted Harvey put down their pens and pencils, picked up their golf clubs and spent an absolutely beautiful day golfing at the IBC’s 9th Annual Spring Golf Tournament and Student Scholarship Fundraiser. The above par Golf Club at Bear Dance hosted our event. Ninety-nine golfers participated in a slice of the action. IBC members are hooked on this annual event and look forward to it each year.

Our drive fore dollars was a success once again. The IBC and its members will award $4,000 in scholarship money to deserving Colorado high school seniors. Recipients of the scholarships will be recognized during the IBC’s Annual Convention on Friday, August 27 in Breckenridge, Colorado.
