LANESBOROUGH - The 3rd annual Conor Dillon Memorial Golf Tournament, hosted by Arizona Diammondback's pitcher Matt Torra and sponsored by Legacy Banks, raised more than $10,000 to support Little League programs throughout Berkshire County.
The tournament, held Sept. 29, attracted nearly 150 players to the Skyline Country Club. Created by Torra in 2005 and named in memory of his childhood friend Conor Dillon, all of the proceeds directly benefit Little League programs.
This year, Legacy Banks took the lead as the tournament's major sponsor. "We are extremely thankful to Legacy Banks for helping us with this important program," said Torra. "Not only does baseball have a long history in Berkshire County, but it offers our area youth an opportunity to participate in an activity that fosters teamwork, discipline and responsibility.
"Thanks to Legacy, we can enhance the benefit of our annual tournament, which offers many children, who would otherwise be unable to participate, an opportunity to experience this wonderful sport," he continued. |
