Greg Sill Golf Outing Raises $60,000 In Smithtown

SMITHTOWN, NY — The first annual Greg W. Sill Foundation golf outing raised nearly $60,000, the Smithtown Central School District announced.

Sill's family and friends raised the money in memory of Sill, who was a social studies teacher at Smithtown High School West.

Sill died unexpectedly in March 2021 at the age of 48.

The golf outing was held at the Wind Watch Golf and Country Club, and the day was made possible by the dedication and support of the volunteer golf outing committee, many of which are teachers in the district.

With 108 players and just under 200 diners, folks enjoyed a sunny day together, sharing stories and good times of the type of person Sill was. Sill is remembered as a treasured social studies teacher in the Smithtown school district for over 20 years.

The money raised will continue to fund the several scholarships that the Greg W. Sill Foundation provides to Smithtown High School West and other schools on Long Island.

"Be on the lookout for other events coming up this school year," said foundation representatives.

The Sill Pantry at Smithtown High School West is open to the public each Monday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The pantry will provide families an opportunity to pick up non-perishable food and toiletries, according to the Smithtown School District.
