On Monday, Aug. 8 at 7:30 a.m., the 17th Annual John Maccarone Hall of Fame Golf Tournament will be held at the Glen Cove Golf Course. All the money raised from this tournament goes to the John Maccarone Scholarship Fund, which was set up in honor of the city's late recreation supervisor and founder of the Glen Cove Hall of Fame. To date, approximately $30,000 has been awarded to outstanding academic-athlete students. This year, as a result of the 2004 golf tournament revenues, $3,000 scholarships were awarded to the following graduating seniors from Glen Cove High School: Christina Abbondandolo, Michelle Costantino, Mark Galluccio, Anthony Genova, Victor Sanchez and Stacie Tripp
The cost for the tournament is $80 per golfer, which includes greens fees, carts, continental breakfast, barbecue lunch and a special gift to each golfer. There will be trophies for low gross for both men and women and senior men and women (60+), as well as prizes for closest-to-the-line and closest-to-the-pin. There will also be a raffle with a chance to win a wide array of prizes.
Tee sponsors are also available for $75 each -- a great way to promote your business or to honor a loved one.
To reserve your spot or to sponsor a tee, send your check, payable to the Glen Cove Hall of Fame, to the City of Glen Cove Parks & Recreation Dept., Glen Cove City Hall, 9 Glen Street, Glen Cove, or stop by Room 305 in city hall during business hours.
