On a rainy Monday morning, golfers, sponsors, and volunteers came together for the 2024 Slocum Shootout—and they did not let a little drizzle dampen their spirits! From the very first swing, the day was packed with camaraderie, laughter, and community spirit, all aimed at supporting two fantastic causes: the Boys & Girls Clubs of Warwick and the ALS RI Chapter.

Braving the Elements for a Good Cause 🌧️⛳

When we kicked things off, the rain certainly made its presence known! But our dedicated participants showed up undeterred, ready to tee off and tackle the course. Armed with rain jackets, umbrellas, and plenty of grit, our golfers hit the greens, determined to make every shot count. The sense of resilience and community pride was evident as golfers played on, rallying together with each hole.

The Day’s Highlights: Fun, Friendship, and Fundraising

Rain or shine, the Slocum Shootout is about coming together, and this year’s event was no exception! The energy was high, the spirit was unbeatable, and everyone brought their best game. There were plenty of memorable moments—some impressive shots, a few good-natured rivalries, and lots of laughter. It’s clear that even a bit of weather couldn’t stop our golfers from having a blast and staying focused on the cause.

As the day went on, the rain started to ease up, and by the time we reached the final holes, we were treated to clear skies and beautiful views, making for a picture-perfect finish!

The Impact: $17,500 Raised! 🎉

Thanks to the generosity and participation of everyone involved, we raised an incredible $17,500! This amount will be split evenly, with $8,750 each going to the Boys & Girls Club of Warwick and the ALS RI Chapter. Every single dollar raised goes toward making a difference in the lives of local youth and supporting ALS patients and research. The impact of these contributions will be felt in our community for a long time to come.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Golfers, Sponsors, and Volunteers

We couldn’t have pulled off such a successful event without the dedication of our amazing golfers, generous sponsors, and tireless volunteers.

Your commitment, generosity, and enthusiasm are what make this event so special year after year.
