Dear Friends,

The Diocese of Allentown is hosting its Annual Golf Tournament on Monday, September 25, 2023, at the Donald Ross designed Steel Club course in Hellertown, PA!

As you may know, this annual event has become known as one of the very best golf tournaments in the region. With your support, we can continue our tradition of fun and excellence while we raise funds to provide scholarships for men considering a life of ordained service to the Diocese as well as scholarships to assist children and families who hope to join one of our Catholic schools. It’s tough work, but somebody’s got to do it.

Below, you’ll find the tournament brochure describing the event as well as sponsorship opportunities. As you’ll see, sponsors will be acknowledged in various forms on the day of the event and on the tournament website as well as in The AD Times, which is the Diocesan print newspaper, and AD Today, the Diocesan e-newsletter, with a combined circulation of over 50,000 homes in Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Northampton, and Schuylkill counties.

To register as a tournament sponsor, a foursome, or an individual golfer, visit the tournament website at https://www.allentowndiocese.org/golf.  If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please contact Michele Mullikin at 610-871-5200 x2282 or via email at mmullikin@allentowndiocese.org. Thank you in advance for your support of our 2023 Diocese of Allentown Golf Tournament!

Sincerely,

Co-Chairs

Father Jason Stokes, Pastor Holy Family Parish, Minersville

Eric G. Wiegand, River Wealth Advisors

PS.   Golfers have enjoyed our tournament silent auction and raffles, which have featured great prizes and raised significant scholarship dollars while being generally low key and a lot of fun. Please let us know if you have an item that you would like to donate as a prize. Thanks again!
