2nd Annual Ray Allen Golf Tournament a Success!

Today is the day, the 2nd Annual Ray Allen Golf Tournament has finally arrived on the links of the TPC River Highlands course in Cromwell, CT. We’ve got a bit of the usualNew England weather going on today, but if you don’t want to golf just ’cause of a little rain, you aren’t a golfer. Anyway, these folks came out today for more than just a round of golf. The real reason Ray Allen Golf Tournament is organized is to raise money for the Ray of Hope Foundation.

Established by NBA All-Star Ray Allen in 1997, The Ray of Hope Foundation assists with sports related and community based programs and provides avenues of opportunity through which our youth can “hope” to realize their full potential.

The Ray of Hope Foundation has helped charitable organizations in several parts of the country fulfill their mission of assisting children in need. From Diabetes research, providing kids in low-income areas with safe and productive activities, to helping young students build greater self-esteem; the foundation is focused on continuing its positive work and becoming a constructive force in the Northeast. Most recently the foundation has been installing brand new school computer labs, in an effort to allow students in underprivileged schools to have access to modern technology and opportunities they otherwise would not have had.

Thanks to everyone who participated in making this year’s Ray Allen Golf Tournament a wild success, and we hope to see you all again next year.
