Ordinarily held the first weekend in June, the Cardinal Golf Classic was part of a two-day event with the Cardinal Hall of Fame Gala. The events have combined to raise over $60,000 annually to support the mission of Cardinal athletics to develop servant leaders who strive for excellence. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Hall of Fame Gala will not take place this year. Plans are still being finalized to induct this year's hall of fame class at CUAA's Homecoming, currently scheduled for Saturday, October 10th, 2020. More information regarding homecoming and the hall of fame induction will be available in the near future.
Like former events, all funds raised at the Cardinal Golf Classic on Friday, October 2nd, 2020 will go directly back to the student athlete experience through financial assistance as well as continued facility developments on campus.
"The Cardinal Golf Classic continues to play an integral role into the continued growth and success of our athletic department," said Director of Athletics, Lonnie Pries. "We are able to unite CUAA supporters to benefit our current students, and we're glad we can still do that even if it looks a little different this year."
Online registration is strongly encouraged for the Cardinal Golf Classic. Space is limited this year so golfers are encouraged to register as soon as possible. For those looking to support the event through a sponsorship or an item for the raffle, are encouraged to contact Kyle Thoms at 734-545-4358 / kyle.thoms@cuaa.edu
