Photo Gallery: SXU Golf Classic

Saint Xavier University raised more than $112,000 at its 22nd Annual Golf Classic on Tuesday, August 7 at Silver Lake Country Club in Orland Park. More than 120 golfers and sponsors contributed to play a full round of golf and compete in various contests including closest to the pin and longest drive. Apple Chevrolet sponsored a Hole-in-One contest. All net proceeds from this highly popular event support SXU student scholarships. Since its inception, SXU’s annual Golf Classic has raised over 1.4 million dollars.

A record-setting number of University faculty and staff joined the golfers in the afternoon for a reception and dinner, which featured Chicago’s own Dwayne Kennedy who entertained the crowd with his special brand of comedy and acted as emcee.

Co-chairs George Ferrell and Bill Callaghan of Henry Bros. Co. marked their 22nd year as presenting sponsors of this event. Other major sponsors for this year’s event included: Axion RMS, Ltd.; Huntington Bank; Ozinga Brothers, Inc.; Dynamic Building Restoration, Inc.; Linear Electric, Inc.; Newman Architecture; and Bear Cartage & Intermodal, Inc.

Mark your calendars for the 23rd Annual SXU Golf Classic, scheduled for Tuesday, August 6 at Silver Lake Country Club.
