Chicago – Saint Xavier University’s 11th annual Golf Classic at Silver Lake Country Club in Orland Park broke all records Tuesday, drawing more than 170 golfers and raising more than $100,000. Proceeds from the SXU Golf Classic provide scholarship support for students at Saint Xavier. Last year’s event raised more than $75,000.
Dan Hampton, a member of one of the most fearsome defenses in NFL history and a favorite former Chicago Bear, participated in the outing, posing for pictures and golfing with guests.
“We had a truly remarkable event this year,” said Steven Murphy, vice president for advancement at Saint Xavier. “We are grateful to the many donors, staff, alumni and friends of the University who made this possible.”
