More than 120 other local and regional businesses participated in sponsoring the event to support the provision of healthcare in Northeast Connecticut.

“This year’s golf tournament was no exception, and another example of the powerful community spirit and generosity that surrounds us in Northeast Connecticut and how we care for each other.
