The Greenwich Old Timers Athletic Association is proud to announce that the 18th Annual Branca Brothers Charity Golf Outing will be held on Monday, Sept. 21 at the Fairview Country Club.
This will be the second year that the association has been fortunate enough to hold this event at Fairview and are excited to once again offer this amazing venue to the community.
Play will be limited to 124 golfers on a first come, first served basis. The registration fee is $350 per individual player, $1,400 for a standard foursome and $1,600 for a corporate foursome.
Registration and lunch begins at 11 a.m., with a shotgun tee-off/scramble start at 1 (beverages will be served throughout the entire outing right on the course).
Following golf will be a cocktail hour, dinner, raffle and door prizes, which gets underway at 5 p.m.
Through its entry fees, as well as the hole, bronze, silver, gold and platinum sponsorships, the golf tournament, along with the annual dinner, are the only two major fundraising events that the Greenwich Old Timers Association holds each year.
The Branca Brothers Charity Golf Outing began in 1997 and is named in honor of Joe and Jim Branca, founders of the Greenwich Old Timers Association.
Their vision, of more than 50 years ago, was to create an organization that would not just foster good fellowship, but would raise funds to promote and support youth athletes and sports programs in our community. Along with the promotion and support of youth sports programs, the centerpiece of the Branca Brothers’ vision was the college scholarship program.
Since its inception in 1960, the Old Timers have awarded college scholarships to 96 student-athletes. In summary, the Greenwich Old Timers Association has donated over $650,000 in support of youth athletic programs and student athletes.
This year, registration for the Branca Brothers Charity Golf Outing can be done online at GreenwichOldtimers.org.
