10:00am - 8:00pm
On August 17, 120 golfers and 26 pickleball players came together for the annual Samuel B. Ross Golf Classic and our second Round Robin Pickleball Tournament, raising over $200,000 for Green Chimneys’ special education and nature-based programs! We are so grateful to all our participants, sponsors, and volunteers who made this incredible success possible!

Each year, the Golf Classic raises over $150,000 from our generous sponsors and golfers. Those funds are directed to Green Chimneys’ innovative education and animal-assisted therapy for children with special needs and support the care of our animals, too.
Hit the Green for Green Chimneys! The day will include fabulous food, an auction, prizes and a great day of golf on one of Westchester’s most challenging golf courses.
Plus, returning this year: Pickleball! For the non-golfer, join us for an exciting Round Robin Pickleball Tournament followed by cocktails and heavy hors d’oeuvres with participants of the Golf Classic.
