What a Year! $1 Million Raised for Kids!

The 2026 Geno for Kids Charity Series has officially come to a close, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible community that made it possible. Together, we raised $1 million to support Connecticut Children’s!

Thank you to everyone who golfed with us at Hartford and Shorehaven, joined us for our Charity Dinners, made a donation, sponsored the series, or helped bring each event to life.

And a special thank you to our dedicated Committee for their time, energy and passion throughout the year. Your generosity and commitment made this extraordinary milestone possible.

Thank you for showing up for kids and making a million-dollar impact!
