Thank you to Golf Pro, Mr. Gary Schmalenberger, Food and Beverage Manager, Ms. Wendy Ayres, Director of Sales, Mr. John Hein, and the entire staff at Greystone Golf Course!

Greystone Golf Course was designed by Joe Lee, architect of Doral Resort’s famed Blue Monster and the courses at Walt Disney World. Greystone Golf Course is a true masterpiece in layout, challenge, and entertainment. This championship course includes 140 feet of elevation changes and features seven ponds and more than 80 bunkers. The tall hardwood trees, wetlands, and native vegetation add an abundance of character to the design.

About The Education Foundation of BCPS, Inc.

The Education Foundation of Baltimore County Public Schools, Inc., was founded on October 26, 1992, as the official 501 (c) (3) nonprofit for Baltimore County Public Schools. The foundation is on a mission to contribute to a brighter future as a champion of the system and community through advocacy, fundraising, and programming. We believe that together, with our community partners, we can ensure that every student, educator, and school community has the resources necessary to reach their full potential.

BCPS is the 22nd largest school system in the nation with 108,000 students and 8,000 educators in 174 schools, centers, and programs. Our students and their families come from 138 countries and speak more than 150 languages. The racial breakdown of our students follows: 40% are African American; 29% are white; 18% are Hispanic/Latino; 7% are Asian; 5% are more than one race; <1% are American Indian; and <1% are Pacific Islander. More than 50% of our students come from lower socioeconomic families, and 15% require special education services.

Since 2010, the foundation has provided 987 scholarships for graduating seniors for a total of $798,095. Since 2012, the foundation has awarded 743 school and office-based grants and special projects to enhance the regular curricula for a total of $1,540,315. Since 2018, the foundation has operated two educator resource centers (the Exchangerees) where teachers shop for school supplies, books, winter accessories and more, at no cost to them. The Exchangerees have served more than 21,000 educators and more than 550,000 students, shared more than103,000 books, and distributed nearly $4.9 million worth of resources and materials into our school communities.
