A record amount of $27,371 (NET) was raised at Saratoga Bridges’ 12th Annual J. Michael Fitzgibbons Memorial Golf Classic presented by Relph Benefit Advisors on Monday, July 27th.  96 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.  Servpro was on hand to wash everyone’s golf clubs before play and PhotoCard Day took each team’s photo on the 10th hole and created a nice keepsake photo magnet for the players.  An online gallery — www.photocardday.comcaptured the day’s activities.

A portion of the proceeds benefits the J. Michael Fitzgibbons Memorial Scholarship Fund.  Each year one of our staff members is awarded an educational scholarship in Michael’s memory as this fund was established to honor our long-time Board Member who passed away unexpectedly in 2005.  Our scholarship recipient, Crystal Walther-Kot, attended the dinner and awards ceremony to thank guests for their support.
