REDLANDS, Calif. - The University of Redlands and Bulldog Athletics are excited to host the 35^th edition of the Edwin B. Hales Bulldog Bench Golf Classic on Monday, April 28, at the historic Redlands Country Club. As the premier fundraiser for Redlands' 22 athletic programs, this event not only supplies essential support for the Bulldogs but honors Hales, who provided a significant monetary gift to the Bulldog Bench upon his passing in 2013.

Space is limited so participants are encouraged to sign-up early.  Online registration is now open. 

Golfers are asked to enter as a foursome for $1500, which must be paid in full with a single payment. This great day on the links includes a cart, tee-prize package, foursome photo, door-prize ticket, clinic, barbeque lunch, green fees, and a happy hour with heavy Hors d'oeurves.

Single golfers may register for $375. To attend the evening program only, which includes appetizers, auction, and awards, the cost is $50 per person.

The day begins at 10:15 a.m. with an educational clinic for golfers of all ages and abilities. Following a friendly yet competitive day on the links, the golfers will enjoy a no-host social hour with heavy appetizers during which the tournament award-winners will be recognized. The exceptional event will conclude no later than 7:30 p.m.

In order to make this our best fundraising event yet, the support of our friends, fans, and alumni is necessary in the form of door prizes, auction items, and sponsorships. Sponsorship levels include $300; $1,000; $1,750; $3,000; $5,500, and more.  If you are interested in being a sponsor please refer to the 34th Annual Edwin B.
