This long-established event raises vital funds for local youth programs, restorative justice, and behavioral health services serving Windham County.
“Celebrating 40 years of our Annual Golf Fundraiser marks a remarkable legacy of community support and dedication to youth development” says Susan Buhlmann, Interaction’s Board Member and Golf Committee Co-chair. “This enduring tradition has raised vital funds, empowering generations with opportunities, mentorship, and brighter futures”.
A few spots are still available for players eager to join this milestone event. Online registration is openith on-site check-in beginning at 11 a.m., and complimentary lunch and dinner provided.
