26th Annual Golf Classic & Dinner

Golf Classic & Dinner Logo-04

In 1997 a pair of Prairie School trustees, John Gittings and Joe Marino, created the Golf Classic to support The Prairie School Scholarship Fund.

Over the years, the Classic has grown into one of the most successful outings in the country. Consistently ranked in the top five percent of outings nationwide, the Classic has raised $1.5 million for deserving students who cannot afford Prairie's full tuition. This fall this event turns 26 and we are thrilled to celebrate with all of you.

Held at the Racine Country Club, every player will enjoy a day of golf, games, and prizes! Not a golfer? Purchase a dinner ticket and meet up with us at the end of the day for cocktail hour, games, fantastic food, and terrific company – all in support of our students!

Crowdfunding Progress

Crowdfunding is the practice of paying for something by raising donations from a large group. Not only will you be reducing the cost of your entry, but you'll also be raising awareness about the great things happening at Prairie. When someone asks what their contribution will be used for, you can take pride in saying it will help a new generation of students experience the benefits of a Prairie School education!
