The third annual Miniature Golf Tournament held Sept. 9 by the Stamford Senior Center raised nearly $9,000 to help older adults in the greater Stamford area remain active and connected to the community.

More than 80 golfers, including Stamford Mayor David Martin supported the event, which featured nine holes of minigolf on the center”™s covered patio and recreation room. Each hole was sponsored by a local business or group, including Principle Wealth Partners, Oasis Senior Advisors and ARK Healthcare & Rehabilitation at St. Camillus.

As a nonprofit organization, the Stamford Senior Center must fundraise to support the wide array of active and engaging programming it offers throughout the year. With exercise classes, lifelong learning programs, expert speakers and more, the organization is a resource for its more than 900 members.

“It is great to see everyone come out, have some fun and support the Senior Center. It”™s been a long 18 months and I hope it”™s a sign of better things to come”¦.” said Christina Crain, executive director, Stamford Senior Center.

Tournament sponsors included AJM Real Estate Services Inc., Cassena Care at Stamford, Edgehill, Maplewood Senior Living, The Residence at Summer Street, SilverSource, Care Patrol, The Waterstone on High Ridge, Len Schwartz, Clare Bolduc and Osborn Home Care.
