BOSTON – Representative
Karyn E. Polito, R-Shrewsbury, hosted the eighth annual Karyn Polito
Charity Golf Tournament on Monday, August 10th at the
Pleasant Valley Country Club in Sutton.
The golf tournament is
a successful event with 100% of proceeds distributed to local
charities. At the
dinner event, checks for $10,000 were presented to each of two
charities: Shrewsbury Youth and Family Services, and the Westborough
Food Pantry.
"I
am so proud of the turnout and overwhelming support we received again this year.
It is amazing that we have been able to distribute over
$180,000 to these two very deserving local charities over the past
eight years. This event
shows the strong sense of community and camaraderie that exists here
among our area residents and businesses.
Once again, I am overwhelmed by the goodness and generosity
of so many people who care about helping their neighbors especially
in these challenging times.
A special thanks to the participants, the sponsors, and the
Golf Committee, who continue to do a marvelous job of orchestrating
a fun and successful day on the links," said Polito.
