Anthony S. Santaro AGC Scholarship Golf Classic

The New York State Chapter, Inc., AGC Scholarship program is funded by our members through our annual Anthony S. Santaro AGC Scholarship Golf Classic; by individual member donations, and through endowments.

Held each year in June at the golf courses at Turning Stone Casino & Resort, the Golf Classic attracts more than 200 participants. We offer a five-man scramble and a two-man best ball competition on separate courses. The full-day event begins with a late morning shotgun start. All golfers enjoyed a barbecue lunch on the course, then meet for cocktails, dinner, prizes and our famous auction. This years event will be held on June 22, 2010. Information will be posted in April for registration for this years event. AGC members enerously donate items for our player gifts packs (packages of tees, sleeves of balls, golf towels, etc.). They also donate items for our auction. If you would like to donate items, please contact Brendan Manning at bmanning@agcnys.org or call 518-456-1134.
