NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The 28th annual MCLA Athletics Golf Classic will be held Monday, Sept. 8 at Waubeeka Golf Links in Williamstown.

 

The Golf Classic serves as a major fundraiser for the College's Athletics Department. Since its inception, the event has raised more than $1M to support MCLA's student-athletes.

 

"We are so grateful to our sponsors and participants, both those who are dedicated longtime supporters and those who are new this year," said MCLA Assistant Dean for Athletics & Recreation Laura Mooney. "Their generosity and contributions allow the department to make facility upgrades and to enhance the student-athlete experience through new uniforms, team gear, and specialized equipment purchases. These items directly impact the recruitment, retention, and success of our students and student-athletes."

 

Each year, the tournament recognizes a deserving individual or business that has impacted MCLA Athletics. This year's honoree is MCLA alumnus and former Board of Trustees member Jim Clemmer '86, who also served as interim president of MCLA from August 2015-March 2016. Jim is the president and CEO of AngioDynamics and has been a dedicated supporter of MCLA Athletics for decades.

 

The entry cost includes the 18-hole tournament, greens and cart fees, lunch, branded gifts, a post-golf dinner, and more. On the day of the event, registration will be held from 9:30–10:30 a.m. and the tournament will begin at 11 a.m.

This year's Golf Classic Premier Sponsor is MountainOne.
