PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Red Tee Tournament Committee announced the Second Annual Red Tee Tournament.  

 

This women's golf event, sponsored by Berkshire Money Management, will be held on Monday, June 10 at Berkshire Hills Country Club in Pittsfield.  Proceeds from the tournament will be divided between Berkshire United Way and Gladys Allen Brigham Community Center.

 

"The Red Tee was the first tournament of its kind in the region. I'm thrilled that as part of our 100th year celebration, Berkshire United Way is leading this great day once again," said Berkshire United Way President and CEO Tom Bernard.  "We are happy to partner with Gladys Allen Brigham Community Center this year and especially honored to be able to direct the proceeds toward programs with a focus on women and girls."

 

The all-women golf event raised $25,000 last year in its inaugural year.  Berkshire Money Management returns as the lead sponsor this year.  Other sponsors include: The Donald C. McGraw Foundation and Black Rock Foundation; Cohen Kinne Valicenti and Cook and Synagex Modern IT. 

 

"We are delighted to partner with the Red Tee Tournament and Berkshire United Way for this event. Being a part of this tournament will help us in our mission of empowering children, youth, and families with a special emphasis on girls across Berkshire County. Thank you for this amazing opportunity and everyone's support." echoed Kelly Marion, Chief Executive Officer of the Gladys Allen Brigham Community Center.

Many of the inaugural golf teams are returning for the second year of the tournament, featuring once again 27 teams playing in a scramble format and a post golf networking event, open to the public. Shotgun start is at 9 a.m. and the post-tournament reception will be 4-6 p.m. and is included in the $150 player registration fee. For non-players, $50 tickets for the networking social hour will be sold separately. The networking event will feature DJ BFG, dinner, raffles and a cash bar.   

 

"We will once again feature swag bags for the players, a DJ at the after party and other surprises to make this one of the coolest golf tournaments that you'll ever be a part of, not to mention the women empowerment factor," said Jen Glockner, chair of the Red Tee Committee. "This is not your father's or grandfather's golf tournament.  It's a great day to focus on women and all that these nonprofits do to help women and girls in our community."
