Menlo College is set to host its Second Annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at the Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel, California, with an 11 a.m. shotgun start. This year marks the first joint participation of the Menlo Baseball, Softball, and Golf programs, creating a united event for all three teams’ communities.
The tournament welcomes Menlo families, friends, alumni, supporters, and donors. The $395 per person fee covers a round of 18 holes, two golf balls, cart rental, range access, pasta dinner, and a raffle entry. Participants will engage in contests including Longest Drive with a fungo bat and Drive Against a Pro, plus a silent auction and additional donation opportunities.
The event concludes the OAKtoberFest weekend, which features alumni games and celebrations for Menlo Baseball and Softball hosted on campus in Atherton before moving to the golf course in Carmel.
Menlo Baseball Head Coach Mike Givens expressed pride in the tournament’s growth, calling it “an incredible way to bring our baseball family together” and highlighting the inclusion of Softball and Golf as a positive development. Menlo Softball Head Coach McKinsey Thorpe said her program is “thrilled” to join the tournament and bring the softball community into the event. Menlo Golf Head Coach Jess Stimack emphasized golf as a strong medium to bring the Menlo community together for this special weekend.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will support the student-athlete opportunities and program growth of the Menlo Baseball, Softball, and Golf teams.

By expanding its golf fundraiser to include the Softball and Golf programs alongside Baseball, Menlo College showcases a collaborative effort to unite its athletic community and enhance resources for student-athletes. This event not only strengthens connections among alumni and supporters but also highlights Menlo’s commitment to growing its athletics through shared experiences and fundraising. The October tournament is poised to become a cornerstone occasion in the Menlo Athletics calendar, fostering ongoing community engagement and program development.
