FSC is proud to present our third annual Putters for a Purpose: Mini Golf Tournament! Gather your friends, family, and colleagues to form teams of two and test your finesse as you cheer each other on through this fun-filled 18-hole tournament. Experience the joy of friendly rivalry, share plenty of laughs, and create lasting memories together. This event promises to be a blast! For our esteemed 21+ golfers, tickets come with a special treat—a complimentary beer courtesy of the Five Churches Brewery Beer Truck.

We are excited to announce that we'll be hosting a raffle for a voucher good for a foursome at Tunxis Country Club, located in Farmington, CT! This amazing prize includes 18 holes of golf, covering greens fees and cart fees for up to four players—a $450 value!
