Fundraising at the Golf FORE Catholic Schools Ladies Professional Golfers Association (LPGA) Pro-Am Tournament was above par at the Monday, September 11 event, with over $375,000 raised.

Held at the Siwanoy Country Club (Siwanoy CC) in Bronxsville, all proceeds from the fundraiser will help fund scholarships that enable children in low-income families to receive an education at a Catholic School in the Archdiocese of New York through the Inner-City Scholarship Fund

The event included more than 100 golfers and 28 LPGA players who competed in a “scrambles” where the “fivesome” (four amateurs plus the lady pro) play the best ball on each shot from tee to green.

Sister Mary Grace Walsh, the new Superintendent of Schools, was on hand to extend her appreciation to those who have generously contributed to the event. This year’s Presenting Sponsor was Cap Trust.

The event has been in existence for over 40 years and is used to support Instructional TV (ITV). Over the many years of its rich history, New York sports celebrities have played in the event including Yankee legends Joe DiMaggio, Phil Rizzuto, and owner George Steinbrenner along with TV and film celebrities like Danny Thomas and George C. Scott.

Siwanoy CC’s heritage dates back to its establishment in 1901. Constriction of the current course began in 1913 under the supervision of famed golf course architect, Donald Ross. Siwanoy was host to the first PGA Championship in 1916 and has hosted many other tournaments including the New York State Amateur, the Metropolitan Open, and the Westchester Open.
