BENEFIT TO HONOR WCC PRESIDENT

Anglebrook Golf Club in Lincolndale, New York, will be the site of the third annual Golf4TheV Golf Classic on Aug. 28, with dinner immediately following benefiting the Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Fund of the V Foundation for Cancer Research. This year”™s event will honor Dr. Belinda S. Miles, president of SUNY Westchester Community College. 

Anglebrook is the final design in the storied career of golf course designer Robert Trent Jones Sr. and has been recognized by “Golf Digest” as one of the top courses in New York state. 

“I”™m humbled to be this year”™s honoree. Like so many others, my life has been adversely affected by the cancer diagnosis in a loved one, in my case my husband of 31 years, Keith, who passed away in February 2021,” said honoree Belinda Miles.

“”¦hosting an event that raises a significant amount of funding that goes directly to cancer research and, in particular, research that studies the biological basis of cancer disparities experienced by patients of minority populations is very gratifying,” said tournament host, Larry Woodard.

The V Foundation for Cancer Research was founded by ESPN and the legendary basketball coach Jim Valvano with one goal in mind: to achieve Victory Over Cancer®.

Since its formation in 1993, the V Foundation has awarded more than $310 million in cancer research grants nationwide and is one of the premier supporters of cutting-edge cancer research.

The fund also supports V Scholar scientists from minority ethnic groups underrepresented in science. This gives minority researchers important, early-career funding to establish their labs and begin their careers as cancer researchers.

Miles earned her master”™s and doctoral degrees from Columbia University Teachers College and a Bachelor of Arts degree from CUNY York College.
