OVER $48,000 was raised for our adults with developmental disabilities!

Cool air and wet grounds did not dampen the spirits of the golfers at Monday's 8th annual BrightStone Golf Benefit! 35 golfers had a marvelous day at The Governor's Club and enjoyed the company of BrightStone adults, staff and families who joined them for most of the day. The day of golf kicked off the fundraising campaign for this event, and fundraising efforts will continue through December 1. An aggressive goal of $140,000 had been set for this year, and many golfers and support partners are utilizing personalized webpages at www.firstgiving.com/brightstone to help raise their funds. Each golfer has a fundraising goal of at least $3,000.
