28th Annual MCLA Athletics Golf Classic to Be Held Sept. 8

NORTH ADAMS — 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 $1 million 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,” MCLA Assistant Dean for Athletics & Recreation Laura Mooney said. “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 1986 MCLA alumnus and former board of trustees member Jim Clemmer, who also served as interim president of MCLA from August 2015 to March 2016. He 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 to 10:30 a.m., and the tournament will begin at 11 a.m.
