If you have been looking for a way to get incolved with your alma mater now is your chance!
Ben Lippen School is looking for local alumni to serve on the Fall Classic committee. This golf tournament is one of two annual fundraiser for Ben Lippen School and raises money for the Partnering for Excellence Financial Assistance fund which supports those families who could otherwise not afford a Christian education for their child.
You do not have to play golf or even know the rules of golf in order to participate. We are looking for alumni who would be willing to help us recruit sponsors, players, teams and door prizes. It could be as simple as asking your organization to sponsor our tournament or to get a local business to donate an item for a door prize giveaway at the tournament.
Ben Lippen School has graduated more than 2,900 students in its history, making our alumni part of a long legacy and an integral part of the Ben Lippen family history. This year we are hosting a Ben Lippen Family Reunion at the 2010 Homecoming game on Friday, October 1.
