Our 2021 annual Near & Far Aid Golf Classic took place on Monday, September 27 at the newly renovated Country Club of Fairfield. Presented by long-time Title sponsor, Fairfield County Bank, the event was a sold-out success with 128 golfers enjoying a day of friendly competition and fundraising, which helps us to support the 100+ local agencies that rely on Near & Far Aid’s fund granting.
Following a BBQ lunch, courtesy of Cantor Fitzgerald, golfers set out for a memorable 18-holes along the Long Island Sound. Throughout the course golfers enjoyed drinks from our friends at Connecticut Distributers Inc., Links Drinks and Northeast Beverage CT as well as friendly competition at a variety of on course challenges including Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin, Straightest Drive, Beat the Pro and a Putting Contest.
Golfers had a chance to win off the course too with raffle packages donated by Blowdry Southport, Greg & Tony Salon, The Pro Shop at Country Club of Fairfield, Northern Trust and golf foursomes at New Haven Country Club, Brooklawn Country Club and Aspetuck Valley Country Club. The day wrapped up with cocktails, light bites and an awards reception, sponsored by George Comfort & Sons.
