D'Youville Foundation's 6th Annual Golf Classic Raises Over $115,000!

Thank you to everyone who supported our 6th Annual Golf Classic on June 14th. The event raised $115,000 to help build the Foundation’s endowment fund. 140 players came out to Vesper Country Club and enjoyed a deli lunch before heading out on the course which was in pristine condition with newly-renovated greens and bunkers.

The golfers had an opportunity to take a respite from the hot sun with complimentary beer at the D’Youville Trivia Tent where they tested their D’Youville knowledge and received a Golf Classic pilsner glass. After their 18 holes, the players returned to Vesper’s Main House for a delicious barbeque buffet. All players received a Golf Classic golf shirt as well as complimentary gifts donated by Enterprise Bank, Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union and the Manolis Family Foundation.

Thank you to everyone who helped to make this event a success! We are especially thankful to our major sponsors: Demoulas Foundation; Trinity E.M.S., Inc.; Eno, Boulay, Martin & Donahue, LLP; Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union; and Levi + Wong Design Associates.
