(SOUTH YARMOUTH, MA) – Over 80 golfers helped raise $2,000 in cash and collect hundreds of dollars in food donations for the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center on Saturday, November 16, 2024, during the 19th Annual Turkey Shoot-Out and Food Pantry Drive at Blue Rock Golf Course in South Yarmouth.
Proceeds from the annual fundraiser this year once again went to the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center’s Food Pantry. Each week, the pantry in Hyannis serves hundreds of veterans and their families suffering from food insecurity. Cape Cod has one of the largest veteran populations in Massachusetts.
The cash donation in combination with food donated from golfers and team members at The Davenport Companies brought the total value to just over $3,000, all of which will be used to help those in need this holiday season.
“The nation owes a huge debt to the men and women who have worn the uniform for our country and it’s an honor for all of us at Blue Rock Golf Course to help raise money and collect food for our deserving Cape Cod veterans,” said PGA Pro Sue Calabro.
In a true act of generosity, several winners donated the turkeys they won back to the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center.
“As the holidays approach, it’s heart-warming to see the generosity of our golfers as they helped the cause while having some fun on the course,” said Calabro.
The winning team included George Fairbanks, Robin Hayes, Flora Gaudete, and Bob Zavorskas.
