BROTHERHOOD GOLF OUTING: HELPS OUT LFC SCHOLARSHIP!

The 8th annual Brotherhood Golf Outing was held this past weekend at Sliver Lakes Country Club in Orland Park, IL. Over 70 golfers attended this years event, including people who flew in from Boston, Nashville, St. Louis, and Omaha. The event had two winners: on the North Course the winners were: Bob Hansen '00, Jay Biondo '00, Marc Glasstetter, and Jason Slutzky. The South Course winners were Brian Bruha '02, Adam Antell '06, Dave Munson '04, and Mike Munson '01 after a two-hole playoff at -11.

This year the golf outing took on another initiative, as the Brotherhood continued its efforts of giving back to the Lake Forest College community that began in 1979. The men of the Brotherhood, through 50/50 raffles, closest to the pin competition, and other contests throughout the day, took on a philanthropic effort that was dear to the Forester Football program. Proceeds raised from these "in-outing" events raised money for the Benny Waters Memorial Scholarship. Benny was the five-year old adopted brother of the Forester Football team, who passed away this past fall due to a brain tumor.

The scholarship monies are being raised in order to provide a yearly scholarship to honor Benny's memory, and his desire to attend LFC and play football. (Benny's Scholarship info:http://www.forestersforever.com/s/884/index.aspx?sid=884&gid=1&pgid=801&content_id=1051 )

"I am thrilled that the men of the Brotherhood adopted this cause for their golf outing. This is a continued demonstration of their commitment to the LFC community that they love," said Coach Catanzaro.
