The Pfeiffer Scramble has been a staple on the golf scramble schedule for 29 years, raising money for both Kent Roosevelt DECA and the Rough Rider golf teams.

Hosted by the Pfeiffer family, the event will return again this season for one final time.

The Richard Pfeiffer Scramble, named after the longtime golf coach at Kent who started the scramble 30 years ago, his sons David and Brent as well as their mom, Beth Kloskoski and families have continued the tradition.

The 30^th scramble tees off with a 1 p.m. shotgun start at Windmill Lakes Golf Club in Ravenna on May 31. Online registration is available.
