Unique prizes and silent auction items, raffle items, and delicious appetizers and beverages will make this an event you won’t want to miss. There will also be a “19th Hole Cocktail Hour & Awards Celebration” after golf playing wraps up.
Individual player registrations are $125 and foursomes are $400. All tournament proceeds support KNOX’s mission to serve the Hartford community.
KNOX provides Hartford residents with targeted job training programs in green industries like urban farming and landscaping, provides access to community gardens for families to address local food insecurities, and supports Hartford’s sustainable development through tree planting and environmental projects.
“While the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted fundraising events for many non-profits, there is still an opportunity to safely support a greener, cleaner, and healthier Hartford by coming out to our first-ever golf tournament,” said KNOX Executive Director Patrick Doyle. “We’re holding the tournament at Goodwin Park Golf Course where we employ Hartford residents in our workforce development program.”
