2022 SIGNATURE EVENTS

PRAIRIE VIEW GOLF CLUB, CARMEL INDIANA

2021 Founder’s Classic The Founder’s Classic has been chaired by Tom McNulty and Jamy Brase since the inaugural event in 2019. And, each year, the event honors individuals or a group who helped make the university what it is today. The Sisters of St. Francis, Oldenburg, Indiana moved Marian College to Indianapolis in 1937 and laid the foundation of Franciscan sponsorship values that guides Marian University today. This remarkable group of women have ministered to thousands of students throughout the Midwest and beyond. Through the efforts of Tom McNulty and Jamy Brase, and the many sponsors and attendees, the Founder’s Classic raised $165,000 in scholarship support to honor Jack Snyder and the Sisters of St. Francis, Oldenburg, Indiana.
