SilverSource Annual Charity Golf Outing To Honor Clayton H. Fowler

Monday, June 12th, at Rockrimmon Country Club. A delightful day of golfing for a good cause.

SilverSource, Inc., a leader in advocating for older adults and their families, announced today that Clayton H. Fowler, Spinnaker Real Estate Partners, LLC Founding Partner, Chairman and CEO, has been named the 2017 SilverSource Charity Golf Outing Honoree.

The annual tournament, which will be held on Monday, June 12th at Rockrimmon Country Club, raises funds for the SilverSource Housing Stability Program to prevent homelessness among older adults. With over 35 years of experience in acquisition, development, construction, and management of commercial and residential projects, Fowler is a leading advocate of affordable housing in Fairfield County.

“I feel very grateful for this honor,” said Fowler. “I’m passionate about addressing the housing concerns of our area, and I’m humbled to be associated with an organization and event that prevents homelessness among our older neighbors.”

Mr. Fowler has served on affordable housing committees and study groups throughout Fairfield County. In addition to serving as Chairman of the Planning Board for the Town of Pound Ridge, NY for almost 20 years, he currently serves on the Boards of the Housing Development Fund of Lower Fairfield County, the Norwalk Chamber of Commerce, and the Maritime Aquarium. Mr. Fowler is a Founding Board Member of the Fairfield/Westchester Real Estate Finance Association and is a Member of the Urban Land Institute.

In 2016, SilverSource served more than 2,500 families and prevented eviction and homelessness for 25% of the 440 Fairfield County older adults who were provided with emergency financial assistance. Statewide, calls for housing and shelter topped Connecticut’s 211 emergency service helpline for the same period.

“To really make a difference in people’s lives, we must address housing,” said Kathleen Bordelon, Executive Director of SilverSource, “We are thankful to Mr. Fowler for his leadership, and we’re thrilled to shine a light on his endeavors. We encourage everyone to come honor him, enjoy a delightful event and support this important cause.”

In addition to supporting a Housing Stability Fund, tournament proceeds will benefit the SilverSource Ride to Wellness Medical Transportation Program, which ensures safe affordable transportation to medical and dental appointments for those age 60 or older. Last year, the tournament raised $90,000 for the Housing Stability Fund and the Medical Transportation program, which provided over 6,500 rides to older adults.

Tournament registration is now open. Each team competing in the 12:00pm shotgun scramble on this exclusive and challenging Robert Trent Jones course will vie for awards and prizes. The day begins with a pre-tournament brunch at 10:30am, and continues with an après-golf reception, seated dinner and an auction led by Alan Kalter, David Letterman’s Late Show announcer. Tickets begin at $350 for an individual golfer, $1,200 for a foursome, and non-golfers may purchase a dinner ticket for $100. Visit www.silversource.org/golf or call, 203-324-6584.
