Golf Tournament
Friday, September 20, 2024
The Joseph A. Champagne / Gene Bennett Memorial Golf Tournament The Joseph A. Champagne / Gene Bennett Memorial Golf Tournament has taken several forms over the years and for the last several has paid tribute to two Saint Paul’s legends, long standing Saint Paul’s supporter, Joseph “Mickey” A. Champagne, and our iconic faculty member, Gene Bennett, AFSC. As a founding member of the Saint Paul Athletic Association in the early ‘50s, Mickey was at the center, working and giving for the good of the students of Saint Paul’s. Over the years, he and his company, Champagne Beverage, have been instrumental in contributing to a myriad of school events in addition to this anticipated tournament. One cannot envision the hallmark of a Lasallian educator and mentor at Saint Paul’s School without having Coach Gene Bennett immediately come to mind. For nearly five decades he touched the hearts of those entrusted to his care while representing us in a most genteel and exemplary fashion while serving in the capacities of a teacher, athletic director, alumni director, as well as a golf and basketball coach. Proceeds from the tournament are used to fund the Alumni Association as well as campus improvements and professional development for the faculty.
Mission Statement: “In addition to giving thanks and honoring these two individuals, the tournament provides a fun and entertaining environment of golf, food and prizes for the purposes of community, fellowship, and fundraising. Net proceeds have contributed to technological improvements in the classroom, tuition assistance, campus organizations, and community service projects. This tournament enables The Saint Paul Alumni Association to further the mission of St. John Baptist De La Salle. The tournament is held each fall at the beautiful Tchefuncta Country Club and is well attended and supported not only by our alumni but by the local community at large.
