History: In 2002, Thomas Lonsbury — an avid golfer and member of the McClure School Advisory Board — suggested that the board establish a scholarship for outstanding students in the McClure ITS program and fund it with the proceeds of a golf classic. The Board agreed and promptly named Lonsbury chair of the Advisory Board Thomas Lonsbury Scholarship Golf Classic.
Lonsbury chaired the event until his death in 2012. That year’s tournament was the first to be called the Lonsbury Memorial Scholarship Golf Classic. Advisory Board member Garon Gentzel took over leadership of the event for 8 seasons. New Advisory Board Member, Nick Lathrop will continue the tradition of keeping Alumni engaged with their university.
2020 Scholarships: In the spring of 2020, the Advisory Board had the pleasure of awarding 9 outstanding students the Thomas Lonsbury Memorial Scholarship. Please join us in congratulating Josie Book, Duncan Farquhar, Lexie Fogle, Cameron Gatton, Keaton Huffman, Nick Johnson, Katie Kobasuk, Jack Russo, and Nick Tracey. This continues the trend of presenting more than two awards in the same year, which would not be possible without your generous support and that of over 150 annual contributors to our fund. The ITS Advisory Board thanks you for your support!
Event proceeds will benefit the J Warren McClure School Advisory Board Thomas Lonsbury Scholarship Endowment.
