Dare Greatly Foundation Golf Fundraiser Slated for Sept. 15 at The VUE
Second annual event returns to The VUE again, offers a "Beat the Pro" challenge, long drive hole, auction, post-tourney dinner, and more
The Dare Greatly Foundation Golf Tournament takes place on Monday, September 15, at The VUE in Hamden, CT. Golfer registration is open yet only a few foursome slots are still available. Visit the event website to learn more.
The scramble-style tournament offers breakfast for golfers starting at 8:00am before a shotgun start at 10:00am. The registration fee includes a great day of golf, a foursome photo, free golfer swag, and a dinner for all golfers at 4:00pm.
On the course, the event has some fun and challenging twists for golfers of all skill levels. There's a "Beat the Pro" challenge on one of the par 3 holes, where you can challenge a lady professional golfer to a closest-to-the-pin contest. There's also a long drive hole, par three hole-in-one prizes, an auction with great items to bid on, and more.

Founded in 2023, the Dare Greatly Foundation recognizes and supports young people who embody good character, strong morals, honesty, integrity, respect, and a passion for civic duty, volunteering, and helping others. The foundation honors the legacy of SSgt Tanner Romanos, who was born and raised in Connecticut and passed away in 2022 while serving as an active-duty service member in the United States Air Force.
Dare Greatly uses all the proceeds from this golf tournament to fund scholarships for graduating high-school seniors in Connecticut. In May, Dare Greatly announced its 2025 scholarship winners. See the list of winners here.
