28th Annual All-Alumni Golf Outing (AGO 2013)

June 13, 2013 by Becky Pacetti Leave a Comment

The 28th Annual All-Alumni Golf Outing (AGO 2013) will be held at Gleneagles Country Club in Lemont on Friday, June 21, 2013. Back-to-back shotgun starts begin at 8:00 A.M. Founded in 1986, the golf outing has grown to play host to as many as 240 golfers, most of whom also join their fellow Crusaders for dinner.

The Alumni Association raises between $10,000 and $15,000 from the outing, making it a close second to the dinner and ad book as a source for overall school funding. Much of what is raised from fees and donations is poured right back into the outing, which has made it an affordable event that creates lasting memories for alumni and friends of all ages.

You can register online or download the participation and sponsorship forms for this year’s AGO. Anyone interested in a opportunity to write one check for multiple sponsorships of Alumni Association events throughout the fiscal year, beginning with the golf outing, please contact Jim Casey.

Contact Jim Casey at jcasey [at] brrice [dot] org or Donna Eastman at deastman [at] brrice [dot] org for more information.
