Lady Geckos travel to Las Vegas

Late January, the Gateway Lady Gecko softball team played in their first tournament of the year! They traveled to Las Vegas, Nev. to gain experience and grow as a team. Even though the competition was tough, the team stayed positive and worked hard. The weekend was a great chance for the girls to grow as athletes and as teammates. It was a great start  to a promising season. We are looking forward to see what these young ladies can accomplish in the season ahead.

Scramble For Scholarships Event to Support GateWay Athletics

A unique evening golf tournament fundraiser at Continental Golf Course to support GateWay athletes

Grab your clubs and join GateWay Community College for a unique night of food and fun at one of Scottsdale’s finest courses! The first ever Scrambling for Scholarships event will be held Saturday, September 19 and will feature dinner, a silent auction and a 9-hole round of night golf.  Each player will receive their own glow-in-the-dark ball and a chance to win great prizes! The event will begin with dinner at 7 p.m. at Continental Golf Course, located at 7920 E Osborn Rd in Scottsdale. Proceeds from the event will help raise money for GateWay athletes.

As the expense of a college education continues to rise, it is imperative that scholarships are available for student athletes to help provide for books, school supplies and sporting equipment.

“This is a great opportunity to support your Geckos while having a great time with friends and family,” said Jaime Long, GateWay’s acting athletic director. “We have over 140 student athletes, many of which have difficulties affording the high price of school supplies. Our fundraising efforts are working to build a book scholarship to benefit these athletes.”

The cost to register for Scrambling for Scholarships is $45 per person and up to four people per group are allowed. Additional support is encouraged and there are three levels of sponsorship with incentives such as tournament registration, t-shirts and recognition in the Gecko Newsletter. 

Sign up today by visiting http://www.maricopa.edu/foundation/events/golf/. The deadline to register is Saturday, September 5.

For more information, contact Rob Shabansky at 602-286-8215 or e-mail shabansky@gatewaycc.edu.

Stephanie Lough, GateWay Sports Information Director, at (602) 286-8218 or lough@gatewaycc.edu
