A Fundraising Golf tournament.
The Simpson University Athletics Department recently hosted the Annual Simpson Golf Classic at Riverview Golf-Country Club. With the help of our athletics teams, the event was a smashing success!
The course was in great shape. Lucious fairways, great running greens, the river flowing on the side. Sponsors from all over the Redding Area supported it. Played as well.
The tournament was a fundraiser for the athletics department. Separate fundraisers for Cheer and Golf were also present. The tournament started at 8 a.m. with the sun on its way up. The smoke was not ideal golf weather, the cheer team made it work.
Jazlyn Manfredonia, a part of the Simpson Cheer Team shared her thoughts on the tournament.
“It was a cool experience, very refreshing you give back to our awesome donators!”
Many holes on the course offered fun challenges for the participating golfers. The men's golf team members were stationed on holes promoting hole-in-one prizes. The cheer team had a special challenge on hole 17--the proceeds from this challenge went directly to cheer.
The support for our athletics was great to see at the event. Dr. Hall was seen at the event alongside other Simpson University staff members. Simpson University's golf team was seen helping in many ways at the event.
Justin Keister, a member of the Simpson Men’s Golf Team gave his perspective on how the fundraiser ran. “An honor to provide to the community and a privilege to be at Riverview Country Club for the tournament. Can't wait to come back next year for it!”
The fundraiser was a hit for our athletics department. The community had a great time at the event—their support ongoing.
