DeStephano Memorial Golf
Classic Sinks an Ace for a
Good Cause
Over 400 golfers came out to
support the 32nd annual Ralph P.
DeStephano Memorial Golf Classic on
September 12. A record-breaking
$160,000 was raised in support of
Unity’s many programs and services,
including: women’s health, diabetes
care, chemical dependency, child care,
and emergency services. “We have
come together to support a wonderful
cause,” said Jim Pavone, co-chair of the
Tournament, “Unity’s mission is a powerful
one, and we are lucky to have so
many people across our community to
support that mission.”
This year’s dinner also featured “The
Roast of Steve Hausmann.” Guest
presenters included his wife, Julie, and
co-hosts of WBEE’s “Breakfast Buzz”
morning show, Terry Clifford and
Jeremy Newman. The trio joined the
golf committee in celebrating Steve’s
22 years of serving as the Master of
Ceremonies’ for the Tournament.
“Although he has given his time over
many years, don’t feel too bad for him,”
laughed Jeremy, “Steve gets to golf
for free!”
Over the last 32 years, the
DeStephano Classic has
raised nearly $2.5 million to
support Unity’s mission to
make a positive difference in
the health and well-being of
those we serve!
