THE 8TH ANNUAL FOGARTY FOUNDATION GOLF INVITATIONAL RAISES OVER $246,000

120 golfers came out to support the John E. Fogarty Foundation on Monday, June 26th at Wannamoisett Country Club. The foundation is proud to announce a single event fundraising record of over $246,000— all to support our mission to fund inclusion programs and services that improve and enhance the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in Rhode Island.

The Golf Invitational attracted a select group of supporters for this highly anticipated charity event. The weather afforded a beautiful day on the course, keeping spirits and dedication to our cause high. Supporters also enjoyed a casual dinner and silent auction. The auction featured donations of golf outings at the Westchester Country Club, National Golf Links of America, Piping Rock, the Misquamicut Club, Newport Country Club, Wannamoisett Country Club, Shelter Harbor Country Club and more. Fine Wines from the Peter Michael Winery in Sonoma and Dooney & Bourke bags were among the items auctioned off.

A special thanks to our major sponsors this year: Dooney & Bourke, ESPN, the Skurkovich & Dorros Families, Tom & Mary McAndrew, Peregrine Property Management, Nooney Family Charitable, Newman Dignan & Sheerar, Rockland Trust, Bank RI, McLaughlin & Moran, Bank Newport, Ahearn Holtzman and Subaru of New England.

100% of the proceeds for the golf invitational go to support the mission of the John E. Fogarty Foundation for Persons with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). Though our annual grant making program, the Fogarty Foundation supports Rhode Island organizations that provide innovative and inclusive programming for people with I/DD.
