Events The Town Crush Golf Tournament & Auction  

 


 Town School Golf Tournament, Dinner & Auction

The 34th annual Town School Golf Tournament and Tennis Classic, was held at the Olympic Club Lakeside, home of four U.S. Opens and consistently ranked in the Top 25 courses in America, and the challenging and recently redesigned Oceanside Course.  The event was chaired by Melanie Gnazzo & Stuart Lipton, and held on April 21, 2008. 

The Tournament is one of the Bay Area’s premier golfing events and raises funds principally for the School’s tuition assistance program for boys whose families would otherwise be unable to afford a Town School education. In the current academic year (2007-08), 15% of the student body (59 students) is on full or partial aid, which necessitates a tuition assistance budget in excess of $886,000.

For more information on this event, please contact Abiah Karthauser at (415) 921-3747 x.117.

Wouldn't it be nice having someone at the gym to cater to your every need? If you’re sweating, he’ll get you a towel.

From this coach you’ll hear, “Girl pushups are not allowed!” and “Crying will only make it worse!” You’ll meet with a personal coach twice a week for four weeks for evaluation and training. We’ll determine your goals—speed, injury prevention, sport-specific technique, vanity—and design a program to whip you into shape faster than you can say “cramp!” Craig is a former decathlete with expertise in track and field, tennis, soccer, baseball, basketball, and volleyball. “Just show up to the field, then I’ll take over”, he says.
