KENWOOD COUNTRY CLUB - The 4th Annual Horan Associates All For One Golf Classic took place on Monday August 27th. More than 350 golfers enjoyed sunny skies while participating in our morning and afternoon golf flights. Morning golf groups had the opportunity to play with several former Xavier athletes as well as some of our current coaching staff. Former players included Tyrone Hill, Brian Thornton, Richie Harris and Steve Wolf and head coaches Sean Miller, Dave Schurek and Scott Googins.

In addition to a great day of golf, participants enjoyed a great lunch from JTM and dinner from Outback Steakhouse. We are grateful to over 60 community minded sponsors, including our Title sponsor Horan Associates, which help make this event possible. All of our sponsors were treated to a great Sunday night reception that was hosted by Sean & Amy Miller at their home. On hand for Sunday's reception were Xavier's three Men's Basketball seniors (Drew Lavender, Stanley Burrell and Josh Duncan).

Monday's dinner and program was attended by an estimated 375 people. The program featured live and silent auctions, comments from Xavier University President Fr. Michael Graham and a preview of the upcoming basketball season by Men's Head Basketball Coach Sean Miller. We also drew the winners of the All For One Club $25,000 Raffle, which enjoyed a record year with 1700 tickets sold.

• $25,000 Grand Prize - Mr. Greg Hizer

This year's event will NET over $100,000 for Xavier Athletics and represents the largest single fundraising event for Xavier University. Over the past four years, the All For One Golf Classic has generated nearly $300,000 in support of Xavier Athletics and has helped Xavier student athletes to compete and WIN at the highest possible levels. In addition to the great efforts of a dedicated golf committee and many volunteers, we have been blessed with the continued leadership of Mr. Greg Ionna, who serves as event chairman.
