Bring Your Mojo Golf Tournament Ann Alexis by photo a Success he 6th Annual “Bring Your Mojo” Golf Tournament honoring the memory of Gary Saunders was an incredible success! This year’s tournament raised a whopping T$71,221. Waterford Country School Executive Director, Bill Martin remarked, “This is the largest single fundraising event in WCS history.” Much to our enjoyment, 140 golfers and dinner guests enjoyed a day full of laughter, great weather, golf and wonderful food at Great Neck Country Club. Over the last six years, the enthusiastic golf committee and Waterford Country School team have raised more than $320,000. That any group could raise that much money and have so much fun while doing it is truly extraordinary. “The continued generosity of our community is just amazing,” says Committee Co-Chair Todd Blonder, TJ Motors. These monies have resulted in finishing the much anticipated state-of-the-art gymnasium at the WCS Quaker Hill campus. The Gary Saunders tournament also financed the workout/fit- ness room, used by kids and staff, inside the gymnasium. Our dreams have become tangible realities for our kids and families thanks to a small group of very committed people. “I am so very grateful for the outpouring of support from our community,” said Committee Co- Chair Scott Gladstone, Wireless Zone. We are confident our success will continue as we look forward to next year.
