Fairfax, Va.  – George Mason Athletics held its annual golf fundraising event on June 3 at Evergreen Country Club to benefit the Patriot Club Annual Fund.
 
All proceeds will support scholarships to provide the Mason student-athletes with the opportunity for academic and athletic success.
 
"The Patriot Club Golf Outing was a complete success," said Assistant VP and Director of Athletics Marvin Lewis.  "I am grateful to all the players, sponsors, donors, and the Evergreen Country Club for supporting the event.  It was great to see Mason Nation come together in support of the Patriot Club Scholarship Fund and our more than 500 student-athletes. I can't wait until next year!"
 
The sold-out golf outing featured a silent auction and post-tournament banquet and awards ceremony for all the golfers and sponsors.
 
"What an incredible day for Patriot Athletics and our supporters," said Katie Pate, Senior Associate Athletics Director for Development.  "Paired with perfect weather and great relationships, the Patriot Club Golf Outing is at its best. Thank you to all who participated on the course and off – we look forward to another record-breaking outing in 2025!"
 
The day was capped off with the announcement and prizes awarded to the top three foursomes in the four-person scramble format. Individual prizes were awarded for closest to the pin and the longest drive.
