George Town, Grand Cayman, November 04, 2024 – The Insurance Managers Association of Cayman (IMAC) announces that its 2024 Golf Scramble, held on October 25, raised US$17,000 for the Educational Scholarship Fund. 

This year’s winning team, representing PwC, delivered an impressive score, narrowly surpassing the teams from TRAC and Grant Thornton. While no one claimed the hole-in-one prizes, the event celebrated the community’s spirit and commitment to education.
