Founders' Classic Golf Tournament 2024
On Monday, August 5, 2024, we proudly hosted our 27th Aquinas Founders' Classic Golf Tournament at Brook-Lea Country Club. The day began with lunch followed by a prayer by Sydney Campe '26, as our teams eagerly gathered to play 18-holes. Bob Schwab '63 said it best, that the weather was a 6 out of 10, but the blessings of the day were undoubtedly a perfect 10. We were thrilled by the fantastic turnout of our alumni and friends of Aquinas, including our Section V Golf Team Champions. We concluded the day with a cocktail hour, followed by dinner and an awards and raffle ceremony.
We are delighted to announce that we surpassed our fundraising goal of over $100,000! We are truly blessed by the support of our AQ community, whose efforts made this event possible. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the parents, faculty and staff volunteers, student helpers, sponsors, players, the welcoming staff at Brook-Lea Country Club, and everyone else who contributed, near and far. We look forward to many more enjoyable events with our AQ community.
