Foursomes Still Available in Rider Athletics Golf Gala

The 25th Annual Rider University Golf Gala is scheduled for September 14, 2009 at Olde York Country Club in Columbus, NJ for the eighth consecutive year. Individual golf spots and foursomes are still available and participants can choose between an 8:00 am and a 1:30 pm shotgun start. Afternoon spots are going quickly so interested parties should call Lynn Rugg at 609-895-5778 as soon as possible.

The $350 golf fee includes golf, Rider/adidas sportswear, breakfast, lunch, cocktails and dinner. The golf will be followed by the cocktail hour, dinner, awards ceremony, raffle prize giveaway, and the 10th annual silent auction. All proceeds benefit Rider's 20 Division I varsity programs.

The Rider Athletics Golf Gala originated in 1985 as a means to increase support for Rider athletics, its programs and, most of all, its student-athletes. Since the Gala's inception, many improvements have been made in the areas of information technology, facilities, equipment, team travel, uniforms, team rooms and more.

If you are interested in participating, being involved in various sponsorship opportunities, or providing raffle prizes/silent auction donations for the 2009 Golf Gala, please call Karin Torchia, Rider Associate Director of Athletics, at 609-896-5249.
