Participants at the ONChamber Golf Tourney celebrate indoors, which raised $16,000 for local business support.
The Ontario County Chamber of Commerce’s 53rd Golf Tournament, held on August 12 at Ravenwood Golf Club, brought together business and community leaders for a day of camaraderie, competition and connection – all in support of the Chamber’s mission to strengthen and grow Ontario County’s business community.
Despite near-triple-digit temperatures, golfers brought their best game to the course. The event raised more than $16,000, which will directly support Chamber programs, advocacy and initiatives that benefit member businesses and the community at large.
This year’s winning foursome – Steve Rising, Scott Cooper, Shane Fackelman and Walt Bergstresser – took home top honors with a strong performance on the course.
Special contest winners included:
  • Closest to the Pin (Men): Rob Payne
  • Closest to the Pin (Women): Roberta Spezzano
  • Longest Drive (Men): Scott Cooper
  • Longest Drive (Women): Holly Davis
Golfers also had a shot at winning a brand-new car in the Hole-in-One contest sponsored by Garber Randall – but no one claimed the prize this year.
“We’re grateful to everyone who came out to play, sponsor or volunteer,” said Tracey Dello Stritto, president and CEO of the Ontario County Chamber of Commerce. “For more than five decades, this tournament has brought our community together in support of local business – and the tradition is as strong as ever.”
The Chamber extends its thanks to all participants, sponsors, including Eagle Sponsors RBC Wealth Management and Wegmans, and donors who made the day possible.
