The twelfth annual Manuel Stamatakis Golf Classic is set for Tuesday, June 18, at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. Stamatakis, a trustee of Drexel University and its College of Medicine, hosts the yearly golf outing to raise scholarship funds. The College established a scholarship in his name to benefit medical students with proven academic ability and financial needs.

"We have a tremendous need for qualified and dedicated physicians in this country and throughout the world. Being involved in furthering the education of medical students in this way is very rewarding and exciting," said Stamatakis.

This year's fundraiser will also see the return of the Manuel Stamatakis Matching Gift Challenge for Scholarships in Medicine. Qualifying donations are set to be matched dollar-for-dollar, which will double the scholarship amounts available to each student.

Co-chairs for this year's golf classic are Daniel V. Schidlow, MD, Annenberg Dean and senior vice president of medical affairs at Drexel University College of Medicine; Michael P. Halter, CEO of Hahnemann University Hospital; and William R. Sasso, Esq., chairman of Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP.
