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.

Raffle items were also donated by Governors Village, Sunshine Suites, Market Street Group, Cayman Physio, the Cayman Captive Forum Committee and North Sound Golf Club.
