RECORD-SETTING GOLF OUTING

Children’s Learning Centers of Fairfield County (CLC) celebrated a record-setting day of philanthropy and fun at their ninth annual Golf Outing on May 29 at the Stanwich Club in Greenwich, Connecticut. 

The sold-out event brought together community and business leaders for a mission-driven day of golf, camaraderie, and giving, all in support of CLC’s efforts to ensure that every child is prepared for kindergarten and beyond.  

This year’s Golf Outing was co-chaired by Carmen Hughes, a member of the CLC Board, and Bob Rahilly, a member of the CLC Leadership Council. Their leadership significantly elevated the event’s visibility and impact. Day Pitney LLP served as the lead tournament sponsor, with additional sponsorship support from Alera Group, Mavis Tire, Emcor Group Inc., USI Insurance Services, and TRIO Community Meals. The Stanwich Club, known for its history of hosting elite golf tournaments, including PGA, USGA, AJGA, and collegiate events, provided a stunning and competitive backdrop for the day.
