Local Food Pantries to Benefit from Pinnacle Invitational Golf Tournament

Gathering Change, Inc. selected by Pinnacle Wealth as benefitting charity 3rd year in a row

On Friday, September 19th at the International “Oaks” Golf Course in Bolton, 95 golfers came out to play in the Pinnacle Invitational to support Gathering Change, Inc. A 501©3 non-profit whose mission is to raise hunger awareness and funds for our neighborhood food pantries.

The support this year from golfers and sponsors was beyond our expectations. There was a $1,000 putting contest, a Hole in One opportunity to drive away in a new Lincoln, and dinner entertainment by Frank Santorelli the comedian best known for his role in the Soprano’s.

A special thank you to Pinnacle Private Wealth for choosing us for the third time to benefit from this event. Thanks to Converse for being our Title Sponsor and for all the fabulous merchandise. And to all our Sponsor’s without whom this event would not have been possible.
