Rivers Golf Tournament Posts Another Successful Round For Financial Aid

 

“Without a robust financial aid program, Rivers would be a very different school,” said Marc Stroum ’98, who co-chairs the Golf Committee with Ian Meropol ’98.  “Ensuring that the school continues to have the resources to admit students who will contribute most to the distinct fabric of this community, regardless of their ability to pay, enhances all aspects of the Rivers experience.”

 

The success of the tournament is due in large part to the efforts of the Golf Committee and the generosity of the Daley Family – Pat ’84 P’13,’15,’18 and Fred P’12,’14,’16 – who, once again, donated Charter Oak for the day.

 

Lewis Robert P’16 was this year’s honoree in recognition of his commitment to the tournament. He has played every year since 2009 and joined the Golf Committee in 2011.  As a major supporter of the Golf Tournament, he has been a key player in the recruitment of players, solicitation of sponsors, and donation of items for the silent auction and raffle.  

 

The foursome of Scott Barchard ‘06, B.J. Dunne ‘06, Interim Athletic Director Bob Pipe, and Rivers math teacher Keith Zalaski took first place with a score of 57, just edging the perennial favorite foursome of Mike Handler ’90, Matt Tobin ’90, Doug Wooldridge ’90 and Chris Welburn ’90.

 

This year’s raffle offered the ultimate Boston Team Experience with not one, but four sets of premium experiences to Boston’s favorite professional sporting venues. The prizes included a Bruins “High-Five” Experience and game tickets, dugout Red Sox game tickets, Celtics game tickets and dinner, and Patriots pre-season game tickets and dinner.  The winners were John O’Brien, Doug Wooldridge ’90, Matt Corkin, and Barry Fish P’17.
