Tim “Rosie” Rosaforte enjoyed a lifetime love for golf and rose through the newspaper ranks to become a top American golf journalist. Rosie covered the PGA TOUR with several news organizations including the Palm Beach Post, Golf Channel and NBC Sports.
With generous support from last year’s Rosie Pro-Am we have honored Rosie’s passion for the game by establishing the Tim Rosaforte Endowed Scholarship through the Evans Scholars Foundation. The scholarship will be awarded every four years and will support full tuition and housing for Evans Scholarship recipients from our Chapter.
Bella Cecere of Old Marsh Golf Club is the recipient of the newly founded Tim Rosaforte Endowed Named Scholarship and will begin attending University of Delaware in fall 2025.
“The opportunity to caddie has profoundly impacted my life in countless ways. I am incredibly grateful for the experiences caddying has provided and the doors it has opened. It is an honor to have received this scholarship. Receiving this scholarship will alleviate the financial burden on my widowed father and me, allowing me to pursue my dream of helping others heal throughout my life. The prospect of obtaining a quality college education without being constrained by financial worries is something I could have only dreamt of while growing up. In being awarded this scholarship, I am immensely grateful and proud to join such an extraordinary legacy. Thank you so much.” – Bella Cecere
