The Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary will host a fundraising golf invitational at Stanwich Club of Greenwich on September 12. All proceeds of this golf experience support the creation of the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary in Newtown – a safe haven and place of healing in honor of Catherine Hubbard, who lost her life at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. 

Lunch will be served at the Stanwich Club Grill at 11:30am, followed by the invitational’s shotgun start at 1pm. Events include longest drive and closest-to-the-pin competitions. The event will close with a 6pm reception of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and dining stations. Cost for a “Purple Dog Sponsor” foursome is $7,500, while a “Red Swan Single Golfer” is $2,500. The sponsorship deadline was August 29, but tickets are still available for the evening reception at $200 each.

Annually ranked as the top golf course in Connecticut by Golf Digest, the club has hosted several PGA, USGA, AJGA, and Collegiate local and national championships.
