Mayor Steve Bach announced Thursday that money raised from the Mayor’s Cup will be used to fund college scholarships.
Organizers raised about $55,000. That’s about $15,000 more than the fundraising goal.
“One of the great things that will come from this is we want to create scholarships for young people in Colorado Springs who need financial help to go to college and who will consider a career in city government, especially in public safety,” Bach said.
Great program to start for our local kids. Thank you Mayor Bach and all the folks who golfed to contribute to this scholarship fund.
Great move by the mayor – he recognizes what’s important and where dollars can be deployed the most fruitfully.
Janis and Saul,
Thanks for the positive comments! I’m sure the mayor would appreciate it. We’ll have a story and photo in tomorrow’s print edition.

Political grandstanding nothing more. Bach does not have a single sincere bone in his body.
