This year the annual Celebrity Golf Classic will celebrate 24 years. This signature event became the foundation on which the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund was built. When this annual tradition began in 1996 it was to celebrate the life of Jay McGillis, raise funds for local families tackling childhood cancer, and have a good time. That first tournament raised $51,600. Last year’s tournament raised over half a million dollars.
The exclusive sponsorship only event kicks off on Sunday evening with the one-of-a-kind celebrity dinner and auction. It includes the opportunity to honor local families tackling cancer, introduce the annual Tom Coughlin Jay Fund scholarship recipients, meet celebrities, and enjoy a special message from Coach Coughlin.
