MacKenzie Scholarship Fund supports individuals pursuing a career in long term care and individuals advancing their career path and education practicum within the LTC sector. Over the years, funds raised via the MacKenzie Classic have allowed WHCA/WiCAL to award nearly $200,000 in scholarships to both college students and LTC professionals! Scholarships have awarded to students from the UW Eau Claire Heath Care Administration program, member facility staff taking advanced or higher education courses, Leadership Academy students, and more. Your participation and sponsorship of the MacKenzie Classic enables WHCA/WiCAL to continue its tradition of supporting the future of long term care. Registration is open to all member facilities and business partners, including their friends and families. All skill levels welcomed and encouraged to participate. It is FUN & casual day supporting a great cause!
