Adam J. Bozzuto Memorial Charity Classic

Previous Next

The annual Adam J. Bozzuto Memorial Charity Classic is one of The Hometown Foundation’s signature fundraising golf tournaments and began with Adam Bozzuto’s passion for giving back to those in need. The event has remained true to its roots as proceeds from the event Benefit The Hometown Foundation. Since 1978, Bozzuto's and their family of retailers and vendors have raised funds for The Hometown Foundation through this annual event. The Adam J. Bozzuto Memorial Charity Golf Classic begins with a round of golf at two of Connecticut’s premier golf courses, Lion Heart Country Club in Avon and The Golf Club of Avon.

We hope you will join us for this year’s event taking place on Monday, October 6, 2025! A shotgun start will take place at both courses and the day will include breakfast and lunch for all golfers at both courses. Following the tournament, participants and guests are invited to attend the evening portion of the event where they will enjoy a cocktail hour and hors d’oeuvres followed by dinner, raffles, and prizes at the Farmington Polo Club in Farmington, CT.

History

The first charity classic, originally called the Bozzuto’s Sports Charity Classic, was held on September 26, 1978, where 148 golfers, 24 tennis players, and 8 bocce players gathered at the Farms Country Club in Wallingford, Connecticut. When Adam Bozzuto started the Bozzuto’s Sports Charity Classic, his goal was simple - to bring everyone together for a day of fun and camaraderie to raise funds for those in need living in the communities in which we live and work. In honor of the later Adam J. Bozzuto, the Sports Charity Classic was renamed the Adam J. Bozzuto Memorial Charity Classic. The popular and highly anticipated annual event has been regarded as the gold standard for industry fundraising events. To date, the event has raised more than $3 million for The Hometown Foundation, Inc.
