3rd Annual Chuck Varese Golf Outing
Chuck Varese was a 25 yr old man, a volunteer fire fighter, fun loving with a huge heart, who was killed April 15th 2008 by a DUI driver. Chuck was a yearly supporter of St Baldrick's Day in which he would shave his head to raise money to help fight childhood cancer. Since he is no longer able to do this his family and friends hold the annual outing to raise the money and donate it in his name.
We would love to see your company foursome play a round of golf for this great cause and to remember a great man. The outing will take place on Monday, September 27th at Crab Meadow Golf Course, 12pm registration with a 2pm tee off. Fee is $130 per golfer and includes a western BBQ and drinks. We also have hole sponsorships available for $150 minimum. If you would like to make a donation for raffle prizes such as gift certificates we would appreciate that as well. For more information please contact Rebecca Varese at reba78@optonline.net or 631-365-6644.
