Perfect weather greeted the 25 foursomes that golfed for Mollie’s Fund on Thursday, September 27th, at the Garden City Country Club. Participants enjoyed impeccable greens playing in a best ball format. Cocktails and appetizers were served to diners and golfers on the Club’s patio. An elaborate buffet dinner was presented in the main dining room. Former GC resident Reverend Peter Garry offered grace followed by Jack’s Biggane’s welcome and introduction of the “Highlights 2018” film featuring the foundation’s current programs and accomplishments. Guest speaker Tracy Callahan, RN, fourtime melanoma survivor and patient advocate, shared her battle with the disease and the impact of education and prevention.

Art Gillin expertly conducted the live auction, and guests were treated to many gifts generously donated by supporters and local merchants. GCHS students Kealan Mullally, Ethan DePalma, Anna Paisley, Maddy Walsh, Christine Calouri and Jess Cerrato, under the direction of Mrs. Nancy Fleming, generously donated their time to sell raffle tickets. And Sacred Heart Academy sophomores Lauren Jordan, Joanna Turck, Kate Murphy, Jillian Fitzgerald and Catherine and Sophie Steinbach also generously volunteered during the evening. Mollie’s Fund sincerely appreciates the support of all the volunteers that were instrumental in soliciting and helping organize this dinner.
