The Manor Golf and Country Club to host May 8 event with 
proceeds benefiting STEM programming

ATLANTA – April 17, 2018: Georgia Bio has announced that its 4th annual golf outing, Swings fore STEM, will be held on Tuesday, May 8, at The Manor Golf and Country Club in Milton, Ga. Georgia Bio is an organization that aims to grow Georgia’s leadership in life science innovation through support of entrepreneurship, science education and life science career development. Additionally, the Georgia BioEd Institute division strives to make a difference in the world of education by providing the tools and equipment teachers and students desperately need to succeed in STEM fields.

This golf outing is part of the campaign to raise funds to promote and support all STEM education programs run by the Institute. The outing’s revenue will help to train teachers and maintain and stock the GaBioEd Equipment Depot which supplies teachers throughout Georgia with the tools needed to teach biology, chemistry, biotechnology, and other health sciences in the classrooms.

Last year, the Georgia BioEd Institute Golf Outing helped to impact 29,000 students, 124 teachers, and 75 Georgia schools in 27 districts. This year they hope to double those numbers and continue to make a significant difference in the ability of students to access the exciting world of biotech and medtech across the state.

The tournament will be a scramble format. Registration will begin at 10 am and tee-off is 11am. The Manor is located at 15952 Manor Club Dr, Milton, Ga 30004.
