PERSON-TO-PERSON CHARITY GOLF OUTING

Darien”™s Person-to-Person (P2P) will hold its inaugural golf outing Thursday, June 3 at the Stanwich Club in Greenwich. Funds raised through this event will support P2P”™s mission to provide individuals and families in lower Fairfield County with essential resources to help them overcome daily challenges and put them on a path toward economic stability. Established in 1968, P2P serves the communities of Darien, New Canaan, Norwalk, Stamford, Weston, Westport and Wilton.

This year”™s golf outing was originally slated for 2020 but was postponed due to the pandemic. While the outing may have been postponed, P2P has been open and operational throughout the pandemic, providing more food and more emergency financial assistance than in any other 12-month period in its more than 50-year history. To put it into context, the P2P food program distributed 71% more groceries in the 12 months after the pandemic started: that is enough groceries for more than two million meals or roughly 5,800 meals a day.

Tracey Riccardi, the event co-chair, and her husband Mike Riccardi, CEO of Tudor and P2P board president, are both active members of the P2P community and dedicated to supporting the community during this unprecedented crisis. “P2P plays a vital and lifesaving role for thousands of families in our local community,” the Ricciardis said. 

Participation in the golf outing is open to all, with a range of sponsorship opportunities as well as foursome and individual play options; costs range from $1,000 to $15,000. The outing features a round of golf (assigned tee times) with tournament scoring, food and beverage throughout the day and access to all amenities, including golf carts, caddies, the practice range and putting green.
