Golfing For A Cause
Children's Learning Centers of Fairfield County (CLC) held its 8th Annual Golf Outing on May 30 with a full field of golfers and supporters at The Stanwich Club in Greenwich. One of CLC's signature events, the golf outing, was chaired by Bob Rahilly, a member of CLC's Leadership Council and a Partner at Day Pitney, LLP. The sold-out golf outing raised over $150,000. Sponsors included Presenting Sponsor Day Pitney, LLP, Title Sponsors Emcor Group, Inc. and Mavis Tire; Trane, Luncheon Sponsor USI Insurance Services, Breakfast Sponsor Trio Community Meals, Beverage Cart Sponsor EY, Cadillac of Greenwich, who sponsored the hole-in-one contest, and Stamford Magazine/Moffly Media as the media sponsor.
All proceeds from the 8th Annual Golf Outing will support CLC's students and programs, which prepare nearly 900 low and moderate-income children for kindergarten and a lifetime of learning. "We deeply appreciate our new and returning friends, sponsors, and golfers, who participated in our annual golf outing to help further our mission of transforming the lives of children and families in our community," said CLC CEO Monica Maccera. "Children who attended CLC are doing better in Stamford Public Schools than children without a preschool experience, and we could not provide this early childhood education without donor support."
