2025 Night & Day Golf Classic Raises Funds for Morgridge Academy at National Jewish Health


DENVER - On May 18 and 19, philanthropic and business leaders came together for the Night & Day Golf Classic, a two-day event raising more than $280,000 to support Morgridge Academy at National Jewish Health. The annual event featured Sunday night dinner at Shanahan’s Steakhouse and a golf tournament at the Sanctuary Golf Course the following day.

Proceeds from the event benefit Morgidge Academy, a tuition-free day school for chronically ill students in kindergarten through eighth grade on the campus of National Jewish Health. Morgridge Academy is the only school of its kind in the country providing a healthy environment where students learn to manage their illnesses and succeed academically, medically and socially.

The event was once again co-chaired by Marc Steron, managing partner of Shanahan’s and National Jewish Health board member, and Vic Lombardi, Denver sports media icon.

During the program at Shanahan’s, guests learned how the same level of personalized and compassionate care that takes place in the clinics of National Jewish Health extends to the students at Morgridge Academy.

“The Night & Day Golf Classic gives us the chance to support a world-class medical and research center right here in Denver,” explained Steron. “To have a unique school like Morgridge Academy on the medical campus means that whatever chronic illness these students face, it is no longer an obstacle to a great education.”

In addition to Steron and Lombardi, the event committee included Stanton Dodge, Lou Engleberg, Brad Farber, Nick Hansen, Bill Lamphere and Kathy Lee. RE/MAX was the presenting sponsor of the tournament. The contributing sponsors were Shanahan’s Steakhouse and Sanctuary Golf Course. Grand Slam sponsors were Lindsey and Stanton Dodge. Birdie Foursome sponsors included Alliant Insurance Services, Greiner Electric, and Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom.
