The Connecticut Education Foundation (CEF), CEA’s charitable arm, is hosting its annual golf tournament to benefit Connecticut children in need on July 14, and, whether or not you golf, all CEA members are invited to participate and support CEF.
There are still slots open in the morning shotgun! If you register as a foursome the fee is $700—which includes coffee, donuts, a barbeque lunch, dinner, golf, prizes, and an open bar.
Not a golf player but still want to support CEF and have a good time? For $100, those who don’t play golf can join in for dinner, an open bar, and the evening program beginning at 5:00 p.m.
Hands Across the Green, which celebrates its 30th year this summer, also welcomes local associations and business partners to participate as hole sponsors or donate to support CEF—and you can donate to support CEF year round at cea.org/cef.

“Hands Across the Green is our largest fundraising event of the year,” says CEF President and CEA Vice President Joslyn DeLancey, “and we’re excited to be back on the course for a good time and a great cause. Whether this is your first time or your twenty-first, we encourage everyone who is interested to join us.”
She adds, “One hundred percent of the money raised goes directly to The Children’s Fund, CEF’s program to benefit Connecticut students whose families are struggling to afford the basics. As educators, we all tend to pay out of our own pockets for supplies that will enhance our children’s school experience. Many teachers also find themselves helping their neediest students with food, school supplies, medical provisions, clothing, and other necessities. The Children’s Fund helps close that gap.”
