Sunday, June 10^th, holds wonderful memories for us – and we hope, for you, too.

With an amazing team of volunteers (29 in all!) and a terrific field of 81 spirited golfers, which included 9 multigenerational teams, the day got off to a fantastic start.

From there, this great day progressed with:

• Perfect golf weather!
• 20 golfers who were also sponsors
• A wonderful bbq at the Snack Shack.
• 51 guests who came just for our delicious dinner and auction/raffle event.
• Over 90 businesses and individuals who provided items for our raffle/auction
• Our largest number of Sponsors (51)
• Over 295 people/businesses who participated in the tournament
• The opportunity to hear the moving narratives of Melanie and Tiffani DiNicola
• Rich Coppola (need we say more?)

Participation in this year’s RCG Golf Classic means that a young man’s dream of inspiring others continues to become realized. It means that his dream continues to live on in the hearts and minds of those who loved him and those who never even knew him.   It means that, through the generosity of so many, Ryan’s charities will continue to receive much needed and appreciated financial support.

Ryan would be thrilled with this year’s event and results; friends and family playing together, fundraising for the causes that meant so much to him and knowing that his life and his final act of giving have touched the hearts of so many so many.

As for us, Ryan’s parents, we continue to feel blessed by the love and support of all who participate as we strive to preserve Ryan’s memory and legacy.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank all who participated for being a part of this memorable day.
