The 12th Annual Hansen Cup Memorial Golf Outing took place on Monday, September 11, 2017, at Allegheny Country Club on a beautiful fall day. This year, the outing raised more than $46,000 which directly benefits a current Sewickley Academy student by awarding him/her the W. Gregg Hansen Memorial Scholarship.
Sixty-five golfers gathered for lunch on the terrace surrounded by over 50 silent auction items which attendees had the opportunity to bid on. At 1:00 p.m. the 17 teams teed off with a shotgun start. After an exciting 18-holes of golf, guests were welcomed back to the clubhouse to enjoy a buffet dinner and cocktails. Head of School Kolia O’Connor opened the evening program with remarks on the importance of this event and how the funds raised help our current students. Jeff Lenchner ’77 then took the mic and spoke about his involvement with the evolution of the event and his ties to the Hansen family. He thanked everyone for their participation in this year’s outing. The 2017 Hansen Cup Champions were then announced. Congratulations to Troy Geanopulos, Chris McCrady ’90, Jiggs Rogers ’88, and Colvin McCrady!
Second Place Winners were Bobby Gordon ’86, Rich Garbee, David Payne, and Thomas Ray.
Third Place Winners were David Lendt, Peter Holway, Bill Kiefer, and Greg Needler.
A special thank you is extended to the Hansen Cup Committee – Jeff Lenchner ’77, Sharmon Beech, Melissa Marks, Bill Marks, Tim Hastings ’77, and Win Palmer – as well as our sponsors!
