Announcing the 18th Annual Charity Golf Tournament

Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce's

18th Annual Charity Golf Tournament
Socially Distanced Edition  

To Support Friends of Children (FoC) and the Amherst Area Chamber & Cooley Dickinson Health Care Scholarship Program

The Chamber will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Friends of Children (FoC). Friends of Children is fully dedicated to improving the lives of children and young adults impacted by foster care or juvenile-justice involvement. Our relationships with young people connect us to their stories and ground us in their perspectives.

In addition, the Chamber will partner once again with Cooley Dickinson Health Care, to award four $1,000 scholarships to four deserving seniors from Amherst Regional, Hopkins Academy, Belchertown High School, and Frontier Regional School pursuing business and/or healthcare-related studies, in an institution of higher education.
