On June 5, more than 100 golfers gathered to celebrate the 25th annual Carlos Placido Dunkin’ Golf Classic for Autism at the Franklin Country Club in Franklin, MA. The event raised more than $100,000 for The New England Center for Children (NECC), a research and education institution in Southborough, MA.
The Dunkin’ Golf Classic was established 25 years ago by Dunkin’ franchisee Neal Faulkner, a member of the NECC Board of Directors. Over its two and a half decades, the annual tournament has raised more than $2 million for NECC’s Annual Fund, which supports NECC’s award-winning programs and provides equipment and opportunities for students on its campus in Southborough, as well as in public schools throughout New England.
The Dunkin’ Golf Classic offers golfers an afternoon on the course, a buffet dinner, prizes, and entertainment, including a live auction, raffles, and awards.
