The ninth annual Mike Rogers Memorial Golf Outing will tee off on August 22 at the historic Tannenhauf Golf Club, bringing together alumni, fans and community members to celebrate the late baseball standout.
A Legacy on the Fairway
Co‑hosted by the University of Mount Union and Rogers’ family, the charity tournament serves a dual purpose: raising vital funds for the Mount Union baseball program and financing improvements to Rafeld‑Rogers Field, the team’s home diamond.
All proceeds from entry fees and sponsorships will be directed toward scholarships, equipment upgrades and facility enhancements, ensuring that future Generals have the resources to compete at the highest level.
Registration closes on August 14, with participants paying $90 per individual or $360 for a four‑person team. Organizers encourage early sign‑up to secure a spot in the limited field.
Beyond player fees, the event offers hole sponsorship opportunities for $100, a tax‑deductible contribution that allows businesses and individuals to have their name displayed on a specific hole while supporting the cause.
“This outing is more than a game; it’s a tribute to Mike’s spirit and a tangible way to invest in the next generation of student‑athletes,” said a university spokesperson. The day will feature a shotgun start, on‑course contests and a post‑round awards ceremony.
For those interested in participating or supporting the tournament, detailed registration information and sponsorship forms are available on the University of Mount Union’s athletics website.
