NEW ROCHELLE, NY — There might not be an easier way to make the world a better place than being a part of the the Fuller Center for Housing of Greater New York City's 24th Annual Golf Outing — there certainly aren't opportunities that are more fun.

The weather looks great for Tuesday's golf outing at Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle.

"We look forward to our 24th Annual Golf Outing as we honor the Fahey Family and further our mission of providing adequate shelter for all people in need throughout the New York Metropolitan area," Fuller Center for Housing of Greater New York City CEO Jim Killoran said. "The day promises to be a fun-filled event while helping us continue to build communities and transform lives."

This year's event will honor the Fahey family, a family that literally helped to build the world we live in.

Thomas Fahey is the Founder of TF Andrew, the family-owned, New Rochelle-based flooring company that has earned a national reputation for trust. The company has provided property managers, developers, and business owners flooring products and services for 42 years.

From humble beginnings, TF Andrew now sells, installs, and maintains all flooring types in 26 states out of 10 facilities, making them the 8th largest flooring service provider in the country.

TF Andrew's connection with The Fuller Center began back in the 1980s when a fire destroyed a home in New Rochelle and Jim Killoran approached Thomas Fahey to help the affected family as they
had no safe place to live or furnishings. Fahey took a personal interest in supporting the family through the crisis, providing them with mattresses and furniture.

Since their connection, TF Andrew has donated over 100K square footage of material over the years, has contributed to hundreds of projects, and members of the Fahey Family have volunteered in The Fuller Center's retail store to gain first-hand experience on how the operation works.

Fittingly, proceeds from this year's event will be used to create homeownership opportunities for families, revitalize neighborhoods, and rebuild homes after disasters like hurricanes and fires.

"I am honored for my family to be recognized by The Fuller Center for Housing of Greater New York City at this year's Golf Outing," Thomas Fahey, Founder of TF Andrew said. "TF Andrew is proud to be involved with The Fuller Center and immensely proud of the contributions to our community over the decades through Jim. The Golf Outing is a yearly highlight for our team and we look forward to supporting it for years to come."

Attendees will be treated to a day that will include lunch and a round of golf, followed by a cocktail reception and dinner.

Golfers will have a chance to take home prizes and gifts. The winning foursome will have a chance to compete in the Applied Underwriters Invitational Finals at the Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri in the spring of 2026.

"The Fuller Center Golf Outing is one of The Fuller Center's biggest fundraisers of the year," said Event Chair Joseph L. Ali said. "We are excited to have everyone come together as we support The Fuller Center's mission of providing shelter for those in need, all while enjoying some friendly competition out on the golf course."
