Closest to the Pin Contest Raises $3,000 for Boys & Girls Club

Closest to the Pin Contest Raises $3,000 for the James L. McKeown Boys & Girls Club of Woburn!

At our recent Golf Tournament, 16-year-old Jack Moriarty, son of Chamber Board Member Paul Moriarty, took a swing at giving back to the community. Jack, an avid golfer, organized a Closest to the Pin Contest at hole 4, where golfers competed to out-drive him. The fun and spirited competition raised an impressive $3,000 for the James L. McKeown Boys & Girls Club of Woburn!

Congratulations, Jack, on your outstanding effort and dedication to supporting a great cause. Your contribution will make a significant difference in the lives of young people in our community.”
