The event has been made possible by Mr. Montesano’s former employer and friends at Frito-Lay/Pepsico, led by the efforts of Tim Gaffney. “Pete is a great guy who has been through so much, but despite that, he wants to give something back to the community and we are thrilled to be able to help him get his message out,” said Mr. Gaffney, who has assembled an impressive schedule of events, prizes and speakers for the event. Prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third place teams, as well as for closest to the pin and long drive contests for men and women.
Among the featured guest speakers will be Mr. Montesano, Mr. Gaffney, Magdalena Wronska of Frito-Lay Sales/Inclusion, Jim Johnson of Companions in Courage, with additional speakers to be announced.
