Community Fund May Golf Outing an Overwhelming Success: See Photos

By Amy Korb, Executive Director, The Community Fund

May 15, 2019:  The Community Fund’s 33rd annual golf outing was held at Siwanoy Country Club on Monday, May 6. The event was an overwhelming success, with 131 participants enjoying a beautiful day and friendly competition while helping the fund move closer to meeting its fundraising goal of over $600,000. 

The close-to $80,000 raised in this year’s golf outing and raffle/auction will enable grants to be provided for the 24 nonprofit organizations and community programs that provide critical services across the Bronxville, Eastchester, and Tuckahoe communities.

The event kicked off with a first-time chipping contest to create excitement among players. Liza Near got the crowd going and created some friendly competition. After an exciting evening playoff, David Agnew came out on top and won a $500 gift certificate to the Siwanoy pro shop.

A dedicated team of volunteers pulled together this year’s event, led by golf co-chairs Gary Garofalo and David O’Shaughnessy. Community Fund board chair Bill Rizzo commented: “The strong turnout we had for Monday’s outing couldn’t be more gratifying. It’s a true testament that year after year so many participate to show their support for the Community Fund’s mission. I can’t thank enough our many sponsors, in particular, Pepe Auto Group and Raffiani Family Foundation. None of this could happen without them.”

Golf Chair David O’Shaughnessy added. “With fantastic weather and the Siwanoy golf course in beautiful shape, the event worked out perfectly. The fact that the lunch and dinner took place in a tent made the day feel more casual and more intimate. A big thanks goes to all the golfers that came out to support the fund and in the process enjoyed a spectacular day of golf.”
