Rye YMCA Hosts Annual Christopher D. Mello Golf Fundraiser

By Lisa Tidball

The Rye Y’s 21st annual Christopher D. Mello Golf fundraiser on Tuesday, October 6, was a great day for all involved. Golfers enjoyed a sunny day on the links at the Old Oaks Country Club in Purchase while supporting a great cause.

The annual golf outing raises necessary funds for Rye Y’s annual campaign, allowing the Y to keep a powerful promise – no one will be turned away from a Y program or activity because he or she can’t pay.

“We are grateful to our generous players and sponsors for supporting this event,” said Sally Wright, Rye Y’s Development Director, in a statement.

In 2015 alone, the Rye Y has already awarded over $480,000 in financial assistance to families, adults and youth. To learn more about the Y’s charitable focus and Annual Campaign, visit http://www.ryeymca.org/giving/.
