Due to the risks of COVID-19 and its implications on public health, the 2020 Tournament of Friendship has been cancelled. We are still engaged in fundraising efforts to support the $18,000 in annual scholarships that we award to aspiring young professionals.
If you are able to, please consider making a financial donation by contacting Tim Homberg at hombergt@msu.edu
The Tournament of Friendship was founded on the premise of bringing people together to help us better relate to one another. A byproduct of this “coming together” is our ability to provide assistance to young men and women who aspire to serve their communities in criminal justice and fire fighting professions. The “TOURNAMENT OF FRIENDSHIP” was established in 1982, which means we’ll be celebrating our 37th year of building bridges and providing financial assistance to our future leaders, all thanks to you and your support.
Over the years, many fine students have benefited through scholarships offered through the “TOURNAMENT OF FRIENDSHIP, completed their studies at Michigan State University, Lansing Community College, and Davenport University, and have proceeded to enter careers in criminal justice and firefighting. It is through your participation in this annual fund-raising tournament that we are able to continue to provide financial assistance to deserving women and persons of color. We have been able to bring some of these recipients back to our event the last couple of years which we think has put some perspective on who we help.
The Tournament of Friendship now annually provides two $6000 scholarships to students enrolled in the Criminal Justice program at Michigan State University, $6000 in scholarships to students enrolled in the EMS/Fire Sciences programs at Lansing Community College, and $6000 in scholarships to students at Davenport University’s downtown Lansing campus.
Please join us for a wonderful day of golf and fellowship, as we raise money for our future criminal justice and fire fighting professionals.
