NORWALK  - This year’s Kennedy Center Charity Golf Classic was full of many milestones.  
Not only did we commemorate our Silver Anniversary with over 25 years of great golfing memories, but we celebrated 25 years of helping people with disabilities as well as inspiring our junior golfers who play annually in the tournament. 
Nearly 90 golfers swung their clubs for charity in one of the only tournaments in the state where junior golfers play with an adult foursome. 

This tournament teed off at Shorehaven Golf Club and raised over $32,700 for underfunded programs provided by The Kennedy Center. 
Since its inception, the tournament has contributed more than $638,000 for the benefit of children and adults with disabilities in the community to live a productive and fulfilling life. 

A total of 17 junior golfers from 12 communities were awarded scholarships based upon academic achievement, school and community leadership, and golf proficiency. Junior golfers aged 15 through 18 played for free in this scramble-format, 18-hole classic. In total, nearly 500 junior golfers from Connecticut have received more than $240,000 in scholarship money. 

The Junior Scholarship and Title Sponsors of the Silver Anniversary of the Classic were the families of Diane Thompson and Chip Carpenter of Sandy Hook, and Julie and Doug Conley of Olney, Md., in memory of Fred and Fran Ahlbin. 
Other major sponsors deserving credit for their generosity included: Merit Insurance in Shelton as the Presenting Sponsor; R.D. Scinto, Inc. in Shelton as the Championship Sponsor; All American Waste, Donahue& Brown, LLC in Fairfield, The Hartford Insurance, and Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield of CT, all Invitational Sponsors; and People’s United Bank as the Golf Ball Sponsor. 
Co-chairs of the golf classic were Trumbull residents Stephen Donahue and Sean Carroll. The Probus Club also provided invaluable volunteer support.   
“This Greater Bridgeport civic organization assists organizations that serve people with disabilities and has a proud history of helping The Kennedy Center in many ways for over two decades,” said Martin D. Schwartz, President and CEO of The Kennedy Center.
