Golf Outing
Once again, Rensselaer Honda will host the Tom Gorman Memorial Golf Outing on June 8th, 2017, at the Fairways Golf Course in Half Moon, NY, to benefit Lustgarten Foundation. Last year, the generosity of the golfers resulted in a record-breaking total for the day, raising over $20,000! And 100% of the proceeds went directly to pancreatic cancer research funded by Lustgarten Foundation. Click here to get more information and register.
