Sacred Heart Golf Classic to Be Held June 30; Supports Expanding Athletics

KINGSTON, Mass. - June 18, 2014 - PRLog -- Sacred Heart School (www.sacredheartkingston.com), a private, Catholic, co-educational school for students in preschool through grade 12, will hold the Sacred Heart Golf Classic on June 30 at the Country Club of Halifax (Halifax, Mass.).

The day begins with a barbecue lunch at noon, followed by an 18-hole shotgun scramble format commencing at 1:30 p.m.  In addition to golf (with a cart), the day also features a registration gift, prizes, post-game cocktail party, and raffles.  Various levels of sponsorship opportunities are available.  The Golf Committee Chair is Robert Duquette, athletic director.

The Sacred Heart Athletic Program has been expanding over the last few years.  The high school football program started with a freshman team this year, and the high school hockey team successfully completed their second season.  Next year will feature a JV football team as well as a cheerleading program that was initiated based on student demand.  In addition, new scoreboards will be installed over the summer for football, soccer, and lacrosse fields.

“Just as we continue to expand our offerings in science, mathematics, and the arts, we want to make sure we have athletic opportunities available to our students as well,” said Sacred Heart President Pamela Desmarais.  “We’re thrilled to offer this golf tournament as a way for Sacred Heart supporters to get together and enjoy a day of fun and sport outside, and buoy and expand the school’s athletics program in the process.”
