News: Redskins Alumni to Tee it Up Sept. 19 in Loudoun Education Foundation Golf Classic

(Sept. 15, 2011) - Four former Washington Redskins – Clarence Vaughn, Pat Fischer, Raven Caldwell and Ron Saul – will hit the links at the Loudoun Education Foundation (LEF) Golf Classic on September 19 at the 1757 Golf Club. The former NFL players, whose appearance was arranged through the Redskins Alumni Association, will mingle and play with tournament participants throughout the day.

Redskin great Mark Moseley will be the speaker at a dinner reception and silent auction that follows the tournament. For the first time, the dinner and auction will be open for those who did not participate in the golf tournament for $25. (This fee includes an LEF picnic blanket.)


Moseley set virtually every Washington kicking record in a Redskin career that lasted from 1974 to 1986. He is the Redskins’ career leader in points (1,206), consecutive seasons leading the team in scoring (12), field goals (263) and most point-after conversions (417). Moseley was named the NFL MVP during the 1982 season, which was capped by a Redskin victory in Super Bowl XVII.

The reception will start at 5:30 p.m. with Moseley and Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) Superintendent Edgar B. Hatrick III speaking at 6:30.
