GET READY TO GOLF

Monday, June 22nd | Timber Banks

Get ready for an awesome day of golf, networking, and some friendly competition at this year’s Big I CNY Golf Tournament on Monday, June 22nd. We’re at the beautiful Timber Banks and you get to pick the style of play that suits you best!

9-Hole: Golf Social Great for beginners and recreational golfers. Get in an easy and relaxing 9-hole first thing in the morning before grabbing lunch at the clubhouse. Plenty of time for you to head into the office or take the rest of the day off…we won’t tell.

18-Hole: Tournament Perfect for avid golfers looking to show off their game and want a challenge. This is the whole tournament experience with contests, lunch, and drinks on the course. We’ll wrap up the day and award prizes at the post-tournament reception. Contests include Skins (NEW and by popular demand!), Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin, Hole-in-One, and 50/50 Tee Shot. To keep the pace of play moving, we are once again doing max bogey per hole and max two putts. We are also capping the tournament to 32 teams. May the best foursome win!

No matter the play you pick, you'll have a great time hitting the links while helping local charities. Thanks to your support of last year’s tournament, we donated $25,000. The tournament also supports the Project InVEST Robert Maher Memorial Scholarship Fund, which helps CNY students continue their education in the field of insurance.

Golf’s not your game? That’s okay – come out to Timber Banks for the social reception. Enjoy the beautiful view from the back deck and catch up with friends.

Big I CNY Gives Back

$25,000 Raised for Central New York Charities

We love seeing our local associations shine. Big I CNY recently joined Bridge Street to share how our members continue to give back to the Central New York community year after year. From raising more than $205,000 through their annual golf tournament to supporting local charities with winter gear donations, this is what true community impact looks like.

That impact was on full display this morning, January 14, at Big I CNY’s annual charity check presentation breakfast, where $25,000 was distributed to 20 local charities making a difference right here at home.

Huge thanks to Mike Crowley and Jacquie Kelly Kaden for helping share Big I CNY’s story and charitable mission. Take a few minutes to watch the video and see the incredible work our members are doing in the community.

If you missed the behind-the-scenes, take a look! All photos of recipients can be found here!
