Since 1903, Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club has been serving the community of Glen Cove, NY. Our mission is to provide a fun, safe, and caring environment that inspires young people to explore their full potential as productive and responsible citizens. We serve more than 600 youth, ages 6 to 18, with a variety of after-school programs in education, sports and recreation, dance, technology and art, all designed to enrich and enhance learning and build self-esteem.

None of this would be possible without generous support from both individuals and businesses in the area, and we regularly host special events geared to raising funds to support the Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club and the programs and services they provide.

It’s in this spirit we hosted the Annual Joseph C. Dey Jr., Golf Tournament at Meadow Brook Club in Jericho on May 6th. It was a perfect spring day for such a fundamental fundraising effort, and brought golfers and supporters from all across the Tri-State area to help advance the organization’s mission.

“We are grateful to the many sponsors and supporters who helped us to raise funds as well as joining us for golf on the beautiful grounds of Meadow Brook Club,” said Mr. Hugh R. O’Kane, GCBGC board member and event Chair. The weather for the Outing, which took place on Monday, May 6, turned out to be a perfect spring day for the 18-hole tournament comprising of 25 teams.

The Club is grateful to all the sponsors and attendees for their continued support of this Annual Golf Outing. The Club’s next major fundraiser, the Annual Dinner Dance, will be taking place on Saturday, October 19 at Piping Rock Beach Club.
