Save the Children Golf Classic, Presented by PVH Corp., Set for Sept. 18 at The Patterson Club in Fairfield

Save the Children, a global humanitarian organization headquartered in Fairfield County since 1957 that invests in children every day, is hitting up the links at The Patterson Club in Fairfield on Sept. 18 to tee up a brighter future for kids.

Now in its second year, the Save the Children Golf Classic, presented by PVH Corp., will benefit Save the Children’s programs, which give kids in the United States and around the world a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.

“Following a successful inaugural golf classic last year, we’re looking forward to another day of fun and friendly competition in our hometown,” said Carolyn Miles, President & CEO of Save the Children. “The Save the Children Golf Classic is an excellent opportunity to try to improve your game while also helping improve the lives of the world’s most vulnerable children. Many thanks to our presenting sponsor, PVH, and all of the participants for making this event possible.”

The day kicks off with registration and a buffet breakfast at 10 a.m., followed by a shotgun start at 11:30 a.m. Participants will enjoy a round of 18 challenging and scenic holes at The Patterson Club, set in the rolling hill landscape of Fairfield's Greenfield Hill section.

“PVH is proud to present the Save the Children Golf Classic for the second year in a row,” said Emanuel Chirico, Chairman & CEO, PVH Corp. "Today's children will be our future CEOs, employees and customers, and we feel fortunate that we are able to support Save the Children's efforts to create lasting changes in the lives of children in need."

Included in the day’s festivities will be opportunities to interact and learn from Rob Labritz, a pro golfer who has played in five PGA Championships and won the New York State Open three times. There will also be course contests, a silent auction, a buffet breakfast and more. A reception, which will be attended by Fairfield First Selectman Mike Tetreau, will close out the day’s festivities.
