The Neil S. Hirsch Family Boys & Girls Club of Wellington will host its annual golf tournament this month.
Thirty-four years old, the exciting event will include the golf tournament, a raffle, a silent auction and an awards luncheon on Saturday, Oct. 10 at the Wanderers Club (1900 Aero Club Drive, Wellington).
Both registration and the raffle will begin at 7 a.m., followed by a 7:30 a.m. putting contest. The tournament kicks off at 8:30 a.m. and will culminate with the silent auction and awards luncheon.
Co-chairs of the tournament include Todd Barron, Elliot Bonner, Ray Mooney and Mickey Smith. This year’s honorary chairman will be Ed Portman. Portman has been involved with the tournament since its inception. Joining the co-chairs in their efforts are committee members Jim Bomar, Shelley Goodman and Julie Kime.
The Wellington Golf Tournament is supported by Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith PLLC and the International Polo Club Palm Beach as gold sponsors. Silver sponsors include Florida Power & Light, the Barron Group at UBS Financial, B/E Aerospace, Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLC, Deloitte Tax LLP, Ernst & Young and Whole Foods Market Wellington.

Proceeds from the day’s events will support the Neil S. Hirsch Family Boys & Girls Club of Wellington, one of 13 clubs operated by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County.
Founded in 1971, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County is a not-for profit youth development organization. The clubs provide more than a safe, fun and constructive alternative to being home alone — they offer a variety of award-winning developmental programs to help youth build skills, self-esteem and values during critical periods of growth.
The clubs provide services during non-school hours, as well as summer camp opportunities, to nearly 6,000 boys and girls between the ages of 6 to 18. The clubs emphasize educational, vocational, social, recreational, health, leadership and character-building skills in a positive and safe atmosphere. Through quality programs, the club experience provides children with the guidance they need to make a healthy transition from childhood to young adulthood.
Sponsorships and foursomes for the Oct. 10 golf tournament are still available. For more information, contact Kristen Cummins at (561) 683-3287 or kcummins@bgcpbc.org.
