2009 Classical Golf Outing

Classical Golf Benefit
SSO's seventh annual golf outing will take place on a Monday in May, 2009.
Golfers return to the SSO's outing year after year to help raise funds to support the Symphony's programs. The golf benefit is a chance for you and your friends, colleagues and clients to play a very special course and benefit Fairfield County's most outstanding orchestra and its arts education activities.

Make a day of it! Lunch, practice time on the range and 18 holes of challenging (but not too challenging) golf, followed by cocktails and a delicious assortment of hors d'oeuvres. Plus, a Silent Auction and lots of prizes.

This is an ideal way to show your appreciation to a client or to court a prospect. Bring a foursome for $2,500 or let us match you up as a single for $625. Not a golfer? Join us for an elegant post-Golf reception as the sun goes down for $100 per person. A perfect way to include your non-golfing spouse!

You might also consider sponsoring a tee or refreshment table, or supplying a special product or service for the Silent Auction.

Anyone can bid on our silent auction or take a chance on our raffle. Simply send an e-mail with your top bid to or call 203.325.1407 x14.
