EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. (WWLP) – The Rhonda Swan Memorial Scholarship Fund will be hosting their third annual charity bowling tournament on Saturday.
This is the Rhonda Swan Memorial Scholarship Fund’s (RRSMS) biggest fundraiser of the year, according to a news release sent from the Scholarship Fund Committee.
Proceeds from the tournaments will be going straight toward scholarships for anyone that is interested in careers in journalism/communications. The scholarship fund has awarded over $16,000 to deserving students.
