35th Wide Open Golf Classic
Charity Golf Tournament to benefit the local high schools substance abuse programs, Smile Train and CCMC oncology research
The Annual WIDE OPEN GOLF CLASSIC will hold its 35th Golf Tournament on Friday, October 7th at Blue Fox Run Golf Club in Avon. Dr. Matthew Keefe of Canton Valley Dental along with David Regan of Burlington, Fran Amara of Farmington and Ryan Mains of West Hartford will once again organize the tournament. The Wide Open over the years has raised funds for the local High Schools’ (Canton, Lewis S. Mills and Northwestern Regional 7) substance abuse programs, Smile Train and has also supported research for the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Oncology Department.
With the monies raised in 2015 donations were made to help fund the substance free graduation parties for Canton and Northwestern Regional 7 High Schools. An additional donation was made by the Wide Open Committee to the charity named Smile Train. Smile Train provides free cleft repair surgeries to children all around the world born with cleft palates and who cannot afford treatment. Children with unrepaired clefts have difficulty eating, breathing and speaking.
Let’s make the 35th Wide Open Golf Classic the best one yet! If you would like to participate in the tournament, please contact Jill at Canton Valley Dental at 860-693-0887.
