AMHERST, N.Y. - The 12th Annual Wildcat Golf Classic will take place on Friday, August 16 at the Buffalo Tournament Club in Lancaster, the Daemen University Division of Athletics announced today.

The event will feature a 1:30 p.m. shotgun tee time, with accommodations for up to 144 golfers. In addition to a full 18-hole round of golf at one of Western New York's finest public courses, participants can expect driving range and putting green access, tee gifts, lunch and dinner prepared by the on-site Flavor Restaurant & Bar, as well as beverages and other fun activities on the course. The tournament is played under a traditional four-man scramble format. No handicaps are needed for participation.

"Through the years, the Wildcats Golf Classic has brought together corporate partners, alumni, friends and families, all in support of what we're building here with Daemen Athletics," said Director of Athletics Traci Murphy. "The money we've raised has made an incredible impact, but we're not done yet. We have grand visions for the future which makes us hopeful that this year's golf outing will be our biggest and best yet."

Registration is open for individual golfers and full foursomes at a cost of $175 per golfer ($700 per foursome). Payment is due via secure online transaction while completing the registration process. The tournament has sold out or been near capacity in each of the last several years, so act fast to reserve your spot in the field.

The tournament also includes varying sponsorship levels, ranging in price from $10,000 to $250, for anyone seeking a more corporate experience for themselves or area businesses. Donations of gift certificates, sports equipment, game or event tickets and merchandise for use as event prizes will be accepted as well.

Funds generated from the event support Daemen Athletics' yearly operating budget and special projects and initiatives meant to enhance the overall student-athlete experience. For example, in recent years, money raised through the Wildcat Golf Classic has been used to offset the cost of outfitting and branding new team locker rooms, various branding enhancements to the Lumsden Gymnasium lobby, the installation of a new Hall of Fame display, and the current construction of a new student-athlete performance center.

For additional information, including how you or your business can become a sponsor or make a donation, please contact tournament director Mike Miranto, senior associate athletics director for communications and operations, at (716) 839-8385.
