In June 2014, 87 golfers, along with a
host of supporters, attended the 13th
annual Gringo Open in Yonkers, N.Y.,
to honor Robert D. Peraza, `94, `96,
who was killed in the Sept. 11, 2001,
terrorist attacks. The golf outing and
fundraiser is held annually at Dun-
woodie Golf Course. This year's event
featured an online auction and raised
more than $37,000 for the Peraza Me-
morial Scholarship at St. Bonaventure.

Tournament was held Sept. 13, 2014, at South Shore
Country Club in Hamburg and The Wanakah Grill in
Lake View.
There were 30 in attendance and several more dona-
tions received, raising more than $4,000. The annual golf
outing began as a tribute to Tim Manning, '85, who was
tragically killed in an automobile accident June 3, 1989.
This is the longest-running scholarship event in St.
Bonaventure history, and organizers look forward to
keeping this great tradition alive in Tim's honor. Proceeds
benefit the Timothy J. Manning '85 Endowed Scholar-
ship at St. Bonaventure, which so far has awarded 29
student scholarships.
Please reserve Sept. 12, 2015, for the 23rd Annual
"Arch" Memorial Scholarship Golf & Fundraising
