Greater Beverly YMCA Golf Tournament Raises $122K

BEVERLY, MA — The 9th annual Greater Beverly YMCA Golf Tournament was a boon for the North Shore YMCA and its educational and summer youth programs.

The event raised $122,000 through the generosity of its participants and title sponsor institution for Savings.

"The incredible support we see for this tournament each year is a true testament to the way the Greater Beverly community continues to come together to help those who need it most," Greater Beverly YMCA Executive Director Tim Flaherty said. "Tournament proceeds ensure we can fulfill our commitment to providing vital resources to children and families in Greater Beverly. Huge thanks to Essex County Club for a spectacular venue and special thanks to Institution for Savings for being a title sponsor year after year."

There were 132 golfers on the links last Monday as the Greater Beverly YMCA looked to raise funds at a time when it said it provides increasingly more financial support to children, adults and families across all programmatic areas in the two years since the onset of the COVID-19 health crisis.

The Greater Beverly Y said it currently serves more than 10,000 members, provides more than $700,000 in annual financial assistance, and offers programs including swim lessons, gymnastics, sports programs as well as camp and licensed child care.

Cabot Street Homes and Holcroft Park Homes also provide affordable housing for 282 individuals and families in the Greater Beverly area.
