SOLD OUT: 24th Annual FCS Charity Golf Tournament & Tennis Day

Recap

Over 115 guests came out to Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle, New York, for a picture perfect day as the FCS staged its 24th annual golf tournament. It was the third year in a row in which the event welcomed tennis players for their own afternoon of sport and fun.

The event was an important component of the FCS’ current charity fundraising drive. We’re targeting a total of $100,000 by May 2024. The outing’s guests contributed $2,025, which was matched by the FCS 2 to 1, for a grand total of $6,075. That amount will be donated equally to our Race for Kids charities: Downey Side Adoption Agency, Make-A-Wish of Vermont, and Hope & Heroes Columbia Medical Center.

With more than 30 companies represented at the event, including 11 sponsors (see list below), the event was a big success in drawing the financial marketing, comms and media community together for a wonderful opportunity to build new relationships. Kudos to the FCS Committee leads who made the event a success: John Toth, Unique; Etienne Katz, CNBC; and Karen List, LMG. And special thanks to FCS Admin Coordinator Marisa Jago who all the behind-the-scenes work.

Original Description

This event is sold out.

Following the fun of last summer’s combined golf and tennis outing, we’re delighted to be headed back to the Wykagyl Country Club for the 24th Annual FCS Charity Golf Tournament & Tennis Day. We will again bring together our two groups of sports enthusiasts for a great day of camaraderie, friendly competition and fundraising.

  • This year marks Wykagyl’s 125th Anniversary, and the Club will host the 100th New York State Men’s Amateur Championship, scheduled for August 7-9, 2023. It’s an exciting opportunity to play this course!

Here’s the agenda for a full day of activities at the FCS outing.

  • 10:30am  REGISTRATION, LUNCH, DRIVING RANGE
  • 11:00pm  PUTTING CONTEST & DRIVING RANGE CONTEST
  • 12:00pm  SHOTGUN START FOR THE GOLF SCRAMBLE TOURNEY
  • 1:00pm  TENNIS CLINIC & ROUND ROBIN TOURNEY
  • Tennis and Golf immediately followed by our COCKTAIL and BBQ RECEPTION
  • 19th HOLE SHOOTOUT for qualifying golfers will be held around 5:30pm.
  • 6:00pm AWARDS and PRIZES

The day begins with a hearty brunch, the driving range — where there will be an accuracy contest sponsored by LoopMe — and a tantalizing putting contest, sponsored by CNBC. There will be additional skill contests during the golf tourney, including Longest Drive (Men / Women) sponsored by InvestmentNews, and Closest to the Pin sponsored by The Wall Street Journal | Barron’s Group, as well as a hot dog/beer cart sponsored by Yahoo! Finance — plus additional snacks/beer on the course. We’ll have our traditional 19th Hole Shoot-out Contest, again sponsored by Dianomi. All golfers will receive a sleeve of golf balls, courtesy of LoopMe.

Golfers reserving foursomes are invited to upgrade to a Corporate Sponsorship, as MNI Targeted Media and vdx.tv have, with our appreciation!

Tennis players will enjoy three hours of play, including a one-hour clinic led by the Club’s tennis pro. [Note: all whites are NOT required for tennis attire at the Club.] While the tennis “competition” will emphasize fun, there will be prizes — sponsored by BBC.

After golf and tennis, we’ll enjoy a BBQ buffet/cocktail reception, sponsored by FOX Business, where we’ll announce winners and prizes.
