Chapel Haven Schleifer Center’s 11th annual CHSC Golf Tournament on Monday, Oct. 6, 2025 was a big success.

“We had a record turnout and beautiful weather,” said golf co-chair Staunton Peck. “We are thankful for all the support of our 147 golfers and the planning and work of our volunteers. This was truly a team effort!”

The tournament was held for the first time at a new and exciting venue, The Farms Country Club in Wallingford, CT. The tournament sold out and was supported by the work of a planning committee, co-chaired by Staunton and Mike Kenney, both CHSC parents.

“The day was a perfect blend of weather, golf and great people pulling together for the important mission that we have at CHSC,” Mike said. “It was a huge success and we also want to thank the Farms for an awesome job of hosting our event for the first time this year.”

The tournament proved to be a great fundraiser, grossing $175,000, including $50,000 for the online auction. After expenses, the tournament’s net proceeds stand at $125,000. All funds will be devoted to program enhancements and campus projects. The day drew a cadre of volunteers, including 25 CHSC adults and eight staff.

The tournament, founded in 2014, is volunteer-run by an enthusiastic steering committee and is a fun day for both participants as well as CHSC community members.  Proceeds over the years have funded a range of campus projects, including technology and security upgrades, new vans and job assistance for CHSC adults.  We are grateful to our golfers who return faithfully and enthusiastically each year to support our life-changing mission.

The event included registration and breakfast at 9 a.m. Golfers were able to attend a CVS immunization clinic sponsored by TrueCare Pharmacy of New Haven. They also had the chance to browse an amazing array of door prizes before heading out for a Shot-Gun Start at 11 a.m. Lunch was served on the course and the golfers returned to a cocktail hour and full, buffet-style dinner.

About the Farms:

The Farms Country Club was founded in 1962 and was originally a working farm, but the founders saw the beauty of the land and the opportunity to create a special place for families to gather and enjoy each other’s company.

Construction of the 18-hole golf course and clubhouse began in June 1961, and the club was officially opened on July 4, 1962. In the years since, The Farms has grown and evolved, but its commitment to family and excellence has never wavered.
