Putt & Pour

Thanks to Everyone Who Helped Make
Our First Putt & Pour a Great Success!

Our Putt & Pour golf and wine-tasting held Sept. 27 at Stanley Golf Course & Back Nine Tavern in New Britain, the only 2019 fundraising event for NAFI CT/RI, was a great success. The event raised nearly $20,000 to benefit the NAFI Enrichment Fund.

The Enrichment Fund pays for client and family needs not otherwise covered in NAFI budgets, making it a vital resource for NAFI CT/RI, which together serve nearly 2,000 children, adults, and families each year.

The Enrichment Fund enhances the lives of those we serve by providing educational, recreational, vocational, and cultural programming. In recent years, that has covered things like scholarships for college and vocational training programs, creating a library at our MDFT group home, assisting a family displaced by fire, and providing assistance with heating bills during the winter months.

The fund has also made possible cultural arts initiatives for our consumers, including trips to museums, summer camps, and dance classes for underserved youth.

“We are thrilled and gratified by the wonderful level of support for our first-ever Putt & Pour event,” said Lynn Bishop, Executive Director of NAFI CT/RI. “States continue to cut funding to nonprofits in their budgets, making the success of events like this one more critical. I want to personally thank all of our sponsors and everyone who attended Putt & Pour for the much-needed financial support that helps us make a truly meaningful difference in the lives of our consumers in special ways that are not funded under state contracts.”
