LYNN — To celebrate its Division 2 state championship victory last month, the St. Mary’s baseball team will be hosting an entire day of celebrations, which includes a golf tournament in Lynnfield and a night of festivities in Lynn on Aug. 20.
The day will begin at 4 p.m. over at Reedy Meadow Golf Course in Lynnfield, where the team will host a nine-hole, shotgun-style tournament until 7 p.m. The celebration will then shift over to Lynn, where Gannon Municipal Golf Course will host a “Night at the Races” event.
The “Night at the Races” event will feature toy horses that will be named after players and coaches on the St. Mary’s championship roster. Those horses can then be bet on and moved via a roll of the dice. There will also be raffle prizes, a scratch ticket board, a cash bar and appetizers running until 10 p.m.
Those interested in donating to the day or sponsoring some of the events have several options. An overall event sponsorship costs $500 and includes eight tickets, your name listed on the event program and mentioned throughout the day. A race or golf cart sponsorship costs $250 and includes four tickets and your name listed on the event program. The cost to play in the golf tournament and have access to the celebration afterwards is $125, while $100 will get you in as a sponsor of a table or a golf hole during the event. Those who would only like to attend the celebration event can do so for a cost of $35.
All proceeds from the event will go toward a championship banquet for the St. Mary’s players and coaches.
Those who wish to register for golf must do so no later than Friday, Aug. 13, as space is limited to 80 players.
For more information or to register, please contact St. Mary’s head coach Derek Dana, St. Mary’s assistant coach Tim Fila or St. Mary’s Athletic Director Jeff Newhall.
