The 13th Annual J. Michael Fitzgibbons
Memorial Golf Classic
23,354 (NET) was raised at our 13th Annual J. Michael Fitzgibbons Memorial Golf Classic presented by Relph Benefit Advisors held on Monday, July 25. 99 Golfers played at the beautifully designed Edison Club, a private golf course in Rexford NY, which included an 18-hole scramble, BBQ lunch, awards ceremony & dinner, complimentary beverages, goodie bags with a Saratoga Bridges polo shirt, raffles, and a silent auction. On the Spot Photos took each team’s photo on the 10th hole and created a nice keepsake photo magnet for the players. An online gallery – http://otsphotos.com/annual-j-michael-fitzgibbons-memorial-golf-classic/ – captured the day’s activities. A portion of the proceeds benefits the J. Michael Fitzgibbons Memorial Scholarship Fund. Each year one of their staff members is awarded an educational scholarship in Michael’s memory as this fund was established to honor their long-time Board Member who passed away unexpectedly in 2005. The agency is most appreciative to their Special Guest, Kelly O’Donnell from WRGB CBS 6, who graciously interacted with the players and was our Emcee for the second year. Kelly aired some footage of the event on Channel 15 (CW) “Upstate Sports Edge” show Wednesday, July 27th at 10:30p.m.
