Eugene Murray is Honoree at Annual Mayor’s Golf, Tennis Classic

For its 25th anniversary, the annual Mayor's Golf and Tennis Classic and Dinner — the primary fundraiser for the RVC Community Fund — will honor former Mayor Eugene J. Murray, the founder of the fund.

“It is a very special honor and privilege for me to be able to salute and celebrate my father,” said Mayor Francis X. Murray, who is urging residents to attend the anniversary celebration.

The fund, directed exclusively to help members of the Rockville Centre community, has provided nearly $1.5 million in emergency assistance since 1987. 

In 2001, a special fund was established inside the Community Fund that provided assistance to village families who lost loved ones on 9/11.

Tickets and sponsorships for the all-day 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.
