PEABODY, MA — A day of golf at The Meadow will have a lasting impact on the community through the funds the Peabody Area Chamber of Commerce and Peabody Rotary Club raised during this month's Torigian Golf Tournament.

This annual event brought together local business leaders, community members, and civic-minded individuals for a day of friendly competition — all in the spirit of giving back.

"This event showcases the power of collaboration between the business community and civic organizations," said Deanne Healey, president of the PACC, "and demonstrates how a fun day out can translate beyond the golf course into real, tangible benefits for people right here in our own backyard.
