State Rep. Hannah Kane to Host Annual Charity Golf Classic

From the Office of Rep. Kane:

State Rep. Hannah Kane is pleased to host her second, annual charity golf tournament, which takes place Monday, Aug. 15 at The Haven Country Club in Boylston. The Haven is a private, 18-hole championship golf course with a beautiful clubhouse and outdoor terrace overlooking the course.

Representative Kane, Tournament Director Beth Casavant and the Host Committee are excited to welcome back returning sponsors as welcome new sponsors who share Rep. Kane’s strong commitment to service and giving back to the community.

“Service to others has always been a driving force in my life, ingrained in me by my parents and grandparents. The opportunity to have a greater impact on the lives of others is one of the primary reasons I sought this office,” said Kane.

Kane further reiterates that she is hoping to build on the success of last year’s tournament, where $45,000 was raised for the following worthy local charities that provide vital human services for our community: St. Anne’s Human Services, which assists the poor and needy in the local community with food and clothing; Shrewsbury Youth and Family Services, which is a private, non-profit community counseling and social services agency; and Westborough Food Pantry, which serves families in need a good array of nutritious food to supplement their own resources.

The day of the event presents the following opportunities for the press to capture photos and interviews: registration and continental breakfast at 9 a.m., shotgun start at 10:30 a.m., barbecue luncheon served on the golf course, 19th hole reception at 3:30 p.m. and an awards program and raffle drawing at 5 p.m.

The tournament this year offers, as always, a robust drawing of raffles and silent auction items. Highlighted items this year include a round of golf at Trump National in Westchester, N.Y., four passes to the Deutsche Bank Championship and a painting of the 16th at Augusta, featuring Greg Norman's tee shot at the Masters, one of a four-piece set titled, "The Big Time Suite."
