Sports - Golf tourneys raise money

Saratogian Mark Loreno is chairman of the tourney and announced that this year’s golf event raised $25,000, bringing the collective total to $500,000 over 14 years.

At Brookhaven, the Pop Warner football booster club held their annual event to help defray expenses incurred in running a successful program.

Over 100 golfers teed it up on a beautiful Saturday morning on a golf course that has made some dramatic changes over the last few years.

The course was in wonderful shape. Run at a smaller scale than its counterpart in Albany, the Brookhaven event, with help from many area businesses, reached its goal of $2,500.

While every tourney has its winners, the true winners are the young athletes who will benefit from the proceeds raised by these events.
