• The morning of Saturday, May 3, 2008, friends of the UMKC Pharmacy Foundation will tee off at Shoal Creek Golf Course for the 14th annual J. Leo McMahon Memorial Golf Tournament.  Proceeds from the tournament support the Pharmacy Foundation Scholarship Fund.

• The cost of pharmacy education has risen dramatically over the past several years, making it more difficult for prospective students to afford the cost of education.   Average cost for in-state tuition, room and board for our students is over $22,000 annually or more than $110,000 over the length of the program.  With public funding declining, private support provides nearly one-third of the total amount required to educate a pharmacy student.

• The Pharmacy Foundation needs your support for our tournament, but more importantly the opportunities it will provide our students.  In this web site  you will find the sponsorship packages available to participating companies and individuals.  Please find the one that best fits your ability to support our students.

• On the day of the tournament, a sponsor-ship will place your company name and/or logo directly in front of members of all levels of the pharmacy profession.  There were over 100 players in the 2007 tournament, including many community, hospital and chain pharmacists, pharmacy owners, pharmacy educators, drug distributors, health care recruiters, and presidents/CEOs of pharmaceutical firms.  Pharmacy students played in the tournament, and student volunteers helped staff the event.

• Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the Pharmacy Foundation’s scholarship programs and events.
