2007 Scholarship Golf Classic is a Major Success!
 The 2007 Scholarship Golf Classic presented by TDS Metrocom and hosted by the Kenosha Area Business Alliance and the Kenosha Area Chamber of Commerce was held on July 30, 2007 at the Kenosha Country Club. Over $16,500 was raised for college scholarships,  making it the most successful outing ever!
This is the third year KABA and the Chamber have teamed up with presenting sponsor TDS Metrocom to host the event. One hundred forty-four golfers came out for lunch, 18 holes, and a reception and awards program. View Photo Gallery.
