BOSTON – Northeastern Athletics is proud is announce that Acella and Perkins&Will will serve as the presenting sponsors of the 19th annual Northeastern Athletics Golf Classic. The Golf Classic will be held on Thursday, May 18 at the Pinehills Golf Club in Plymouth, Mass.
 
"We are thrilled to partner with Acella and Perkins&Will for this year's Golf Classic," said Director of Athletics and Recreation Jim Madigan. "Acella and Perkins&Will are both industry leaders in their craft, and we are appreciative of their commitment to helping raise crucial funding to support our distinctive student-athlete experience and competitive excellence at Northeastern. We are looking forward to hosting another first-class event at the Pinehills next month."
 
The tournament is currently sold out on both the Jones and Nicklaus courses, but sponsorship opportunities are still available by contacting Rich Hutchinson (r.hutchinson@northeastern.edu).
 
"When Acella was established in 2003 one of our first projects was at the Lane Health Center with the late Frank Mahoney," said Saul Schrader, President of Acella. Shortly thereafter we began our relationship with Northeastern University Athletics, attending ice hockey games and supporting Northeastern wherever we could. In addition to being hockey fans, we support athletics because we recognize the importance of health and wellness, the positive impact on the community and everyone involved. It has been amazing to grow as a company and have the opportunity to work with the Northeastern Athletics community over the years and see the great organization it is today."
 
"As a partner to Northeastern, we are inspired by the university's commitment to athletic achievement as well as health and wellness for all students," said Perkins&Will Principal and Sports and Recreation practice leader Stephen Sefton. "This important event is one that we are proud to support, knowing the impact the funds will have on student-athletes and the ability of the athletic department to support special programs that provide immersive experiences."
