Operation Hope of Fairfield Invites Friends to Tee Up to End Hunger and Homelessness in the Local Community

Operation Hope of Fairfield will host its annual Golf Outing fundraiser on Tuesday, September 7 at Country Club of Fairfield to directly support its work to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and care for those in great need here in Fairfield and the surrounding community. Title Sponsor Webster Bank continues its longstanding tradition of partnering with Operation Hope to support its efforts to end hunger and homelessness in the community.

Highly regarded as one of the best “hidden gem” courses in the country, the exclusive Country Club of Fairfield offers an unmatched venue, with magnificent views of the Long Island Sound and scenic village of Southport. Golfers will enjoy eighteen holes of golf, along with a delicious BBQ buffet presented by Lunch Sponsor Integrated Print Solutions (IPS), cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, carving stations, awards and an auction. Registration begins at 10:30am, lunch is at 11:15am and tee-off is at 12:30pm.

The invitation to play individually or as part of a foursome is open, and business and individual sponsorships are available and welcomed.

“Whether you’re a scratch player or can barely drive, the annual Golf Outing is a way for players to take on the challenge of a legendary course, enjoy themselves and raise money for a worthy cause,” says Golf Outing Co-Chair, Michael Fucigna. Golf Outing Co-Chair Ab Igram continues, “Every player and sponsor will be proud to have been able to make a real difference in someone’s life and carry on Operation Hope’s mission to end hunger and homelessness for our neighbors in need.”

“The Golf Outing is one of our signature events to support Operation Hope’s clients, and we are grateful for the generous businesses and residents who make it successful,” states Carla Miklos, Executive Director, Operation Hope. “It is with the proceeds from our events and donations alike that Operation Hope can provide critical services and support for thousands of people, helping break the devastating cycle of homelessness.
