A golf event hosted by scholarship organization Posse Atlanta aims to raise money so high school students will be able to attend college.

More than 100 golfers, donors and guests from Atlanta’s business, philanthropic and educational communities are expected to participate in the fundraiser at East Lake Golf Club on Monday.

Posse Atlanta has recruited 237 Atlanta students who have been awarded more than $29 million for four-year, full-tuition scholarships since 2007.
