Westhab’s 18th Annual Golf Classic Raises Over $265,000 to Further Support Its Mission

Yonkers, NY – July 28, 2021 – On Tuesday, July 27, Westhab hosted its 18th Annual Golf Classic in person at GlenArbor Golf Club in Bedford, NY. After last year’s event was forced to go virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization was thrilled to host an in-person fundraising celebration once again. With the generous support of friends and sponsors, the Golf Classic raised over $265,000 that will benefit the nonprofit’s efforts to engage with and support the homeless community.

“It was incredible to see Westhab’s supporters come out with enthusiasm for our 2021 Golf Classic,” said Westhab’s President and CEO Rich Nightingale. “This event provides year-round support for all of our programming, allowing us to continue building communities and changing lives for our most vulnerable communities.”

The tournament is sponsored annually by a collection of valuable community members in and around Westchester County and the greater New York City area. Special thanks to the Tournament Sponsors, New York Life Investments and Petrocelli Financial Services LLC, whose support each year is such an import factor in the event’s success.

“As the chair of the Golf Classic Committee and the First Vice Chair of Westhab’s board, I look forward to the Golf Classic every year,” said Robert H. Petrocelli, Jr. “Petrocelli Financial Services is honored to be a Tournament Sponsor of Westhab’s 18th Annual Golf Classic—a wonderful opportunity to support Westhab’s essential work in our communities while enjoying a day of golf and fellowship.”

The proceeds of the Golf Classic will allow Westhab to continue to deliver hope and opportunity and create vibrant and just communities by producing high-quality homes that are affordable, providing pathways to permanent housing for people who are experiencing homelessness, supplying ladders to a living wage, and empowering youth to reach their full potential.
