Proceeds from this tournament directly benefit the Caddie Scholarship Fund and the Christopher C. Hickey Named Scholarship in particular, from which six caddie scholars currently receive increased scholarship assistance.
Current recipients include:
Peter Moriarty
SUNY Buffalo
Daniel Moriarty
SUNY Binghamton
Ajani Bowie

Griffin Northrop
University of Connecticut
Cooper Healy

For the third straight year this outing had an incredible turnout from friends and family; more than 120 golfers competed in the tournament and all who attended helped raise money for a great cause. A robust display of silent auction items and raffle prizes, as well as dedicated generosity from attendees helped the Fund surpass last year’s fundraising efforts with gross contributions of nearly $150,000!
Team Low Gross and CCH Plaque Winners included Pat Mullin, Tom Richardson, Jeff Mellick, and Mark Thompson with a score of 60. Team Low Net Winners included Mike Niedermeier, Dan Mara, Mark Hibbert, and James Dunning with a score of 53.
