FALL GOLF CLASSIC — Colby Snell carefully considers his putt at the Foxcroft Golf Club during the 25th annual AE. Robinson Fall Golf Classic, to benefit the Piscataquis Regional YMCA.
“It’s been great to see the businesses come out to support this event,” Willey said. “From our lead sponsor A.E. Robinson to the 30-plus other businesses that supported the tournament we truly couldn’t have done it without them. The proceeds from the event support the Y’s Annual Campaign and will be a big boost as we work to reach our $60,000 goal.”
This annual four-person scramble originated through the vision and leadership of Bud Prouty who together with area business leaders and professionals established the golf tournament. The tournament continues annually and supports the Piscataquis Regional YMCA’s Annual Campaign. For the past several years, Dana Fadley has been the event’s coordinator. According to Willey, his energy and knowledge have been instrumental to the tournament’s success.
Willey wanted to acknowledge the event’s lead sponsor A.E. Robinson Oil Company as well as all of the business who have also contributed generously. Willey also wanted to thank the individuals that came out to golf that day and all the volunteers who made the event successful.
The Piscataquis Regional YMCA is a cause-driven organization that is committed to the community and dedicated to promoting healthy spirit, mind, and body for all, through programs and services grounded in Christian heritage and the core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
