2016 GOLF CLASSIC & RAFFLE

THE 9TH ANNUAL!!! It was started after budget cuts ended funding for freshman sports. It has been organized by Manish Doshi, Class of ‘79, and BHS Hall of Fame coach. And his amazing group of alumni: Gene Nakamura (‘62, HOF coach), Hank Dorsey (‘56), John Merchant (‘54, HOF), Nick Pereira, & Jim Moran. Dedicated this year to long-time BHS booster Wayne Tarr, Class of ‘57

BHS/BAF GOLF CLASSIC & RAFFLE Our biggest fundraiser of the year!! It has raised an average of $25,000 per year. The proceeds pay for ALL FRESHMAN/FROSH COACH stipends. In recent years, 7-8 teams with student athletes. And some VARSITY ASSISTANT COACH stipends. In recent years, 3-4 teams with student athletes. But 2015 proceeds were off by 50% -- we need to revitalize the Classic or face some very tough funding decisions....
