The goal of the event is to raise funds to support community outreach programs at the Reggie Lewis Center and provide necessary funds to deserving students in the Greater Boston Community. In addition to a great day of golf, 150 participants will test their skills with hole-in-one, longest drive, and closest-to-the-pin contests. Following the competition, a luncheon, catered by Kowloon of Saugus, MA, will be held for over 200 participants, local business leaders, elected officials, and supporters of the programs.

State Auditor DeNucci is glad to be partnering with the Golf Organizing Committee for the second straight year. “It is with great pleasure that I once again take part in this terrific event,” said DeNucci. “The Roxbury Community College Foundation and the Reggie Lewis Center provide our inner-city youth with both educational and athletic opportunities that were once unattainable. This worthwhile event raises the necessary funds, especially in these tough fiscal times, to benefit programs that help so many realize their dreams.”
