Golfers raise $51K

Nearly 100 golfers helped the Providence Children’s Museum raise a record $51,000 at its 32nd annual Allen H. Chatterton Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament in early August.
Held at Wannamoisett Country Club in the Rumford section of East Providence, the tournament benefits the museum’s exhibits and educational programming. Admirals Bank presented the event.
The day’s winners included: low net team John Isberg and his team from National Grid; low gross team Keith Jacobson, Steve Risko, Chris Tarro and Tom Wunderlich; individual low net, Todd Bridges of Collette; and individual low gross, Mike Hogan of TD Bank.
At dinner, guests bid $6,350 on silent auction items including rounds of golf at exclusive courses such as Shelter Harbor and Newport Country Club. They also gave $3,600 to support 36 charitable memberships for low-income families. A raffle and contest holes around the course brought in an additional $4,490.
The late Allen H. Chatterton Jr., an early supporter and board member of the museum, instituted the tournament in 1984. Allen H. Chatterton III – a Rumford resident and president of Chatterton Insurance in Pawtucket – chaired the tournament for the 26th consecutive year in memory of his father.
