The Saugus High School Athletic Department hosted its first annual “Swing for Saugus High School Athletics” golf tournament on June 21st and it was a huge success! The event was well attended by school/town officials, teachers, coaches, alumni, and friends of SHS Athletics.

Many thanks goes to everyone who played and contributed to the success of the event. The tournament had 29 foursomes and everyone had a great time. A special thank you goes to Mr. John O’Rourke from ‘Wheelabrator’ who generously donated the tournament gift, in which, the 115 golfers all received beautiful golf vests. A special thank you goes to Julie Mitchell, wife of SHS golf/hockey coach Jeff Mitchell, for her countless hours in helping coordinate this event. Julie helped in every way and the event couldn’t have been such a success without her contributions. Lastly, many thanks goes to volunteers Donald Wong, Stacy Tait, Dodi Rodriguis and Christine Hyde for helping during the golf tournament.

The money raised will go directly to the student-athletes at Saugus High School and I truly appreciate everyone who contributed to this event and for your generosity. The “Swing for Saugus High School Athletics” golf tournament was a success and I look forward to seeing you again next spring
