2023 Pro-Am.png

Aquinas College’s annual Peter M. Wege Pro-Am Golf Tournament gives golfers the opportunity to golf alongside the pros while raising funds to support our AQ Saints. Proceeds from this event will fund the newly created Peter M. Wege Annual Scholarship, which helps bright and promising students achieve their dream of an Aquinas College education.

This scholarship honors and carries forward the legacy of Peter Wege, ensuring a top-flight liberal arts education rooted in our Catholic and Dominican values is accessible for all students who endeavor to be Saints. Peter Wege was instrumental in the development of Aquinas and his name adorns many special places on our campus. His principles and commitment to creating a just and sustainable world remain a living legacy to Aquinas and its students.
