The event has grown in popularity and has supported CHPC’s mission of caring for patients and families battling serious or terminal illness. This was the 10th year the organizers have directed the proceeds to benefit Chautauqua Hospice & Palliative Care.

The tournament attracts golfers and sponsors from around the area including generous participation from regional paving and highway suppliers. This year’s tournament brings the 10-year event total support figure for CHPC to $64,225.

Winners of the First Flight were Jon Gren, Dave Bogden, Matt Hartweg and John Krudys with a score of 59. Second Flight winners were Ed Shults, Dave Johnson, Jake Kane and Jim Greyber with a score of 67.

The tournament is organized each year by Circulus members Phil DeAngelo, Tom Olson, Bucky Lombardo, Ron Pappalardo and Jack Scalise. These five friends, along with many generous sponsors and donors, have established a long-standing event that is one of the most fun and enjoyable in the area.
