Wakeman Golf Outing Raises $82K with 124 Golfers, Perfect Weather

Fairfield, CT - Wakeman Boys & Girls Club’s annual Great Futures Golf Outing was held June 3 with a full field of 124 golfers convening under perfect weather at the Country Club of Fairfield.  The tournament benefits programming and operations for 3000+ kids and teens served annually by Wakeman Boys & Girls Club.

After an enjoyable day playing in the sun and breeze alongside the Long Island Sound, participants enjoyed a cocktail hour and heard from teen members Jack Steed, Caitlyn Kane, and Quinton Sneed-Lott about their varied and impactful experiences at Wakeman Boys & Girls Club.

Wakeman is so appreciative of all who supported this year’s tournament, which raised over $82,000 for the organization.  The $82,000 raised at the Golf Outing goes towards Wakeman’s annual fundraising requirements of more than $1.8 million to support Club program delivery, scholarships, and operations across the organization.  

The Club gives special thanks to all our event sponsors, including Driving Range Sponsor KennKleen and Greens Sponsors Antinozzi Associates, ACBI Insurance, Bartlett Tree Experts, the Bayles Family, Connecticut Distributors, Inc., DeSantie Tire Company, Dominick Fuel Company, ENCON, Oliver Nurseries and W.
