The annual Mayor’s Golf and Tennis Classic and Dinner, set for Oct. 1, will celebrate the Rockville Centre Community Fund’s 25th anniversary by honoring former Mayor Eugene J. Murray, its founder. The all-day event is the primary fundraiser for the fund.
“It is a very special honor and privilege for me to be able to salute and celebrate my father,” Mayor Francis Murray said in a statement, encouraging residents to attend the celebration.
The fund has provided nearly $1.5 million in emergency assistance to village residents since 1987. In 2001, a special subsidiary fund was established to help local families who lost loved ones in the attacks of Sept. 11.
Tickets and sponsorships for the event, as well as journal ads, are still available. The donation for breakfast, lunch, cocktails and dinner as well as a round of golf at either the Rockville Links Country Club or the Seawane Country Club is $350. The donation for tennis and lunch at the Seawane is $100; tennis, lunch and dinner, $225. Dinner-only tickets at the Rockville Links are $125.
To make a reservation or for information about sponsorships or journal ads, call Mary Rohrs at (516) 678-9260. Journal ads must be placed by Sept. 15.
