Tony Dovolani to Host Golf Benefit

Stratford, CT -- Tony Dovolani, long-time Connecticut resident and Dancing with the Stars Mirror Ball Champion, will be hosting The Tony Dovolani Golf Invitational for Special Needs Children on Friday August 12^th.  Mill River Country Club, Stratford, Connecticut is the site of the day’s events.  This is the inaugural event for Tony Dovolani’s Not for Profit Organization, “Golf for Special Needs Children”.  The day is sold out.

Proceeds from the day’s events will benefit the Only You Foundation 501 (c) (3).   Mike and Kelly Fedak founded this non-profit organization to honor the memory of their son, Mikey, who passed away unexpectedly in 2013
