The Broadcasters Foundation of America raised more than $200,000 during its 2021 Celebrity Golf Tournament, the organization said Tuesday.
The event, which took place Sept. 13 at Sleepy Hollow Country Club in Briarcliff Manor, New York, featured 150-plus broadcasters and celebrities.
Funds raised during the event help broadcasters and their families who have experienced loss due to debilitating illness, accident, or catastrophe.
“The Celebrity Golf Tournament is one of our biggest annual fundraising events,” said Jim Thompson, president of the Broadcasters Foundation, in a statement. “We had to cancel last year’s tournament due to the pandemic, and we are grateful to return this year and to have strong support from our sponsors and players. The money comes at a time when we are helping more broadcasters and their families than ever before. Our thanks also goes to everyone who has generously supported the mission of the Broadcasters Foundation with a donation.”
