SXU to Host 27th Annual Golf Classic

Saint Xavier University (SXU) will host its 27th Annual Golf Classic on Thursday, August 10, at Silver Lake Country Club, 14700 South 82nd Avenue in Orland Park. Participants will enjoy "eye-opener" drinks, a full round of golf, lunch and beverages on the course, a cocktail reception and a steak dinner to enjoy. Proceeds from the event raise funds for student scholarships. Since 1997, the Saint Xavier University Golf Classic has raised more than $1 million dollars for student scholarships. 

Join us and experience a great day of golf and fellowship with friends and colleagues while we raise money to support deserving and talented SXU students. Registration begins at 8 a.m., followed by a shotgun start at 9 a.m. This year, participants will golf the South Course. The 19th Hole Cocktail Hour will be held at 3 p.m. Registration for individual golfers is $250 and non-golfers can purchase a reception/dinner-only option for $55. Several sponsorship opportunities are also available for promoting local businesses and supporting SXU students.  

Attendees will also enjoy a comedy show from WGN-TV news anchor Mike Toomey. 

"Each year, we look forward to this wonderful event where our community joins together in support of our amazing students. These scholarships help our students to thrive, and what they go on to achieve will better our communities," said Jeanmarie Gainer, director of Alumni Relations.  

Coming soon: Attendees can also participate in three grand raffles to win Cougar Classic prizes. Raffles will be open for online ticket purchase.
