This is more than just a day on the course. Proceeds from the tournament will benefit the War Memorial and help fund veteran services, events, ceremonies, and the annual StandDown program, one of the region’s biggest efforts to connect veterans and members of the military community with critical resources and support.

The tournament will use a scramble format with a 1:00 p.m. shotgun start. Registration and lunch begin at 11:00 a.m., followed by a full day of golf and an evening dinner with open bar at the Café on the Green.

The entry fee is $185 per person or $740 for a foursome. That includes greens fees, cart, buffet lunch, a raffle ticket, cash prizes for the top three finishers, long drive and closest-to-the-pin contests, a hole-in-one car prize opportunity, plus buffet dinner and open bar afterward. Honestly, that’s a pretty loaded day.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available for local businesses that want to get involved, including lunch, dinner, cocktail hour, cart, beverage cart, and tee sign packages.

The Danbury War Memorial has served the city’s recreational, athletic, and cultural needs since 1951, while also honoring members of the armed forces. Their motto says it all: To Honor the Dead, To Serve the Living.

If you’d like to play, sponsor, or donate, you can register now at war-memorial.org/golf.

6 Everyday Connecticut Things That Outsiders Think We’re Totally Making Up

If you live in Connecticut long enough, you forget that the rest of America has no idea what we’re talking about half the time. We drop references to things like “Wethersfield Pizza Wars,” “the Mixmaster,” or “UConn women’s expectations” like they’re universal topics everyone everywhere discusses over coffee. But the moment an out-of-state visits, you remember oh right, none of this is normal. Connecticut is full of quirks that are perfectly reasonable to us and completely baffling to everyone else.
