Calling all STM boys in grades K–8 and their moms (or grandmothers, godmothers, aunts, or other special female role model)! Join us for an afternoon of food, fun, games, and memory-making on Saturday, September 19, from 1–3 p.m. on the STM athletic field and in the school gym.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY! We are looking for adult volunteers to help supervise activities and keep things running smoothly during the event. Adult volunteers must be child protection certified.

Dads, we’re looking at you!  This is a great opportunity to lend a hand while Mom enjoys some special time with your STM Eagle.

Your help will allow all of our moms to attend the Tailgate and enjoy the afternoon with their sons. We’re grateful for any time you can give!

Due to safety and liability coverage, we cannot allow any other children or siblings, younger or older, not enrolled at STM, to attend the Mother & Son Tailgate. Only boys enrolled in Kindergarten through 8th grade at STM may be present.

Men's Club 2026 Greg Brown Golf Tournament - October 19

Join us for the 2026 Greg Brown Golf Tournament on Monday, October 19, 2026, at Greystone Country Club.

The tournament is named in memory of Greg Brown, one of the original founders of the STM Men’s Club in 2006 and the driving force behind its first golf tournament in 2007. Greg served as Men’s Club president in 2009 and played an important role in the club’s early growth and traditions. Following his passing from cancer in 2013, the tournament was renamed in his honor in recognition of his lasting impact on the STM Men’s Club.

Our sponsors are the driving force behind this event. Sponsorship opportunities give businesses and organizations valuable exposure while supporting STM Men’s Club and its mission of Men Doing More. Sponsorship packages range from $150 to $5,000.

Individual golfers may register for $150, and team registration is $500. Each player receives a round of golf, tournament shirt, hat, swag bag, and dinner.
