EASTON, Pa. - The 2025 Maroon Club Golf Outing presented by the Lehigh Valley Health Network raised over $100,000 in support of the Maroon Club General Fund despite being cut short due to rainy conditions. The Maroon Club's largest fundraiser of the year was held on June 16 at Northampton Country Club in Easton, Pa. with 150 golfers registered for the round.
The team of Joe Scott, Brian Znamirowski, Grant Holsinger and John Kintzer claimed the 2025 crown with a score of 10-under par through 13 holes, while Bob Piccione, Dennis Gleason, Tom Hank and Eric Wavrek claimed second place at 9-under.
Hole two, a 586-yard par five, was where the longest drive contest was held, with Nick Zataveski winning it for the men, and Lafayette College field hockey head coach Jennifer Stone '04 bringing it home for the women for the second consecutive year. Jon Morris was closest to the pin on hole 16, a 150-yard par three, landing less than eight feet from the cup for the men, while Kim Watts claimed it for the women.
With the Lehigh Valley Health Network leading the charge, over 50 local businesses and supporters sponsored Monday's event. A number of auction prizes were also generously donated, including a round of golf at Northampton Country Club and numerous Lafayette swag bags.
This year's golf outing also featured the addition of the first ever
