Proceeds support Saint Mary’s tuition assistance program. This year, Saint Mary’s will provide $1.98 million in need-based tuition assistance to 40% of its student body.  The goal for last year’s tournament was to raise $25,000.  Thanks to the generous support of friends, local businesses, alumni, and more, over $30,000 was generated to support Tuition Assistance.  This year’s goal is to raise $40,000 toward the cause.

Tournament fills fast; so make reservations now. 

Sponsorships available. 

Online registration will be available on the school web site at www.saintmaryschs.org or for more information contact Joanne Marchetti Howe at (510) 559-6227. 

The 2010 event was the school’s most successful yet, headed up by co-chairs Frank Brady ’52, Karel Gray ’79, Manish Doshi — Saint Mary’s girls’ soccer coach — and Matt Kelleher, alumni parent. 

Players included members of Capt. Doran’s family and a number of his Berkeley Police Department colleagues, with many Saint Mary’s alums among them. Members of the school's golf team also participate each year.
