The 2022 Paul Rickard Memorial Scholarship Golf Outing proved to be a resounding success, raising an impressive $76,000 to support deserving SUNY Orange students and athletes in their educational pursuits. With 136 golfers teeing off under sunny skies, the outing transformed the greens into a hub of camaraderie and purpose. The day culminated in a lively dinner reception, where guests enjoyed an evening of reflection, stories, and celebration. The night was capped off by 1999 SUNY Orange graduate and men’s basketball player, Art Alzamora’s powerful and personal tribute, honoring the scholarship and the enduring legacy of Paul Rickard.
