The 24th Annual KEC Golf Classic, benefiting the Operation Round Up® Scholarship program, was held at the Twin Lakes Village Golf Club on Friday, June 21, 2024. This year, we raised more than $22,000! Thank you to all players and sponsors who helped to make this year's tournament a success.
About Operation Round Up® and the KEC Scholarship Program
Operation Round Up® is just what its name implies. Each month, KEC “rounds up” the electric bills of participating members to the next highest dollar.
All Operation Round Up® donations are placed in a trust and administered by an independent, voluntary Board of Directors called the Kootenai Electric Trust. The Trust is made up of people who are KEC members and community leaders. Each Trust Board member represents a district of the KEC service territory. It is they who receive and evaluate all requests for funds and determine how they will be distributed.
The funds raised for Operation Round Up® at this year’s tournament will go to the Scholarship Program. Since 2007 the Trust Board has awarded more than 200 scholarships to KEC members or their children who are either seniors in high school or enrolled in college or an accredited training institution. The scholarships are awarded based on need and academic achievement.
