Golfers and Sponsors Brought in $70,000+ for Newburyport's Schools!
Excitement was in the air as 136 golfers teed off at the Wentworth By the Sea Country Club to support the NEF. Whether you golfed, were a sponsor, or volunteered, you helped us bring in over $70,000 for Newburyport's Public Schools. Thank you to our golfers who, once again, sold the event out in record time. Shout out to our golf chairs, Scott Cuticchia and Ray Felts.
Champions Crowned
There was a tie for first place with a 54 so we went to a card-off! Congratulations to our first place team of Jeff Hill, Josh Messina, John Dyer and Patrick Lange! Coming in second were the team of Eric Eramo, Thomas Eramo, Michael Dube and Sean McQuillan. Longest drive winners were Conor Clancy and Barb Bailey while closest to the pin was Gary Desimone.

In our excitement, we forgot to draw the 50/50 Raffle Winner during the event but we are
happy to report that Evan Rimer was the winner of $705. Congratulations, Evan.

Thank you to our Volunteers
It takes about 25 volunteers to help out on tournament day and it could not happen (or be anywhere near as fun) without folks donating their time. Thank you to all of those who volunteered. Special thanks to Kacey Oreal and Barb Bailey for organizing our volunteers for the day.
We were fortunate to have our NEF Student Ambassador Lizzy Homer share her talent with us and take photos at the tournament.
