Henry House raises $100,000 in Connecticut

The Henry House Foundation is pleased to announce a successful event in JJ’s home town of Fairfield, Connecticut. On Monday, June 28, The Henry House teamed with The First Tee Met New York to host the first ever JJ Henry Invitational. The day began with a kid’s clinic for 75+ youth from The First Tee chapter in Fairfield Country as the youth enjoyed a clinic from JJ, an incredible show by world-famous trick shot artist Peter Johncke, and participated in a station clinic with a dozen local pros. The kids enjoyed lunch and gift bags before ending the morning.

Shortly thereafter 25 foursomes representing corporate and personal groups from the Tri-State are took to the course for a shamble tournament, each ‘captained’ by a First Tee participant who played alongside the groups. Fairfield native and tennis great James Blake was among the players supporting the First Tee on Monday. With great merchandise and demo presence from Callaway Golf and the hospitality of the beautifully renovated Patterson Club, the golfers played well despite some scattered thunderstorms. Birdie Sponsors for the day included IBM and First County Bank.

Monday evening began the JJ Henry Invitational Reception at The Patterson Club with over 250 guests to enjoy fine New England fair, speeches from JJ and a First Tee star participant, Monica Diaz, who stole the show. Along with an incredible silent auction and raffle, the live auction that concluded the program helped the Foundation raise over $100,000 in one day to benefit The First Tee chapter in Fairfield County in hopes to better their facilities.

It was a dream fulfilled for JJ to return to his home city and home club and host such a memorable day to benefit this wonderful cause.

“A special thanks for asking Sam to participate in the JJ Henry Event. She had an unbelievable time. It was so much fun listening to her talk about their day in the car on the way home. You gave Sam a special gift of a moment in her life, which I know she will share for years to come.” - Mother of First Tee participant

A Hogan – Henry Partnership

The Henry House Foundation is pleased to announce a partnership with the Ben Hogan Foundation to promote our collective missions and benefit The First Tee of Fort Worth. As a team, we hosted an incredibly memorable event this fall – the first ever Ben Hogan Invitational Golf Tournament taking place alongside the Henry House Foundation’s third annual White Hot Night Gala. Our groups were thrilled to be a part of hosting such a unique and exclusive event to be both competitive and enjoyable. It was an honor to have the Hogan name next to the Henry House mark, and it was a key partnership in bringing together such a strong group of supporters for The First Tee Fort Worth.

As a direct result of the tournament and gala, we collectively raised close to $300,000 to help break ground on the Ben Hogan Learning Center for The First Tee of Fort Worth.

Ben Hogan Foundation

This facility will provide offices, teaching bays, classrooms, a study room, library and a Ben Hogan museum. The Ben Hogan Learning Center will be visible proof that children from similar backgrounds to Mr. Hogan’s can achieve their dreams.

The White Hot Night Gala took place Sunday September 20, 2009 followed by the Ben Hogan Invitational Golf Tournament that Monday September 21. Please contact our office for more details.
