Nearly 400 golfers took to the links inside the Trumbull Public Library Monday for IMPACTrumbull’s mini golf fund-raiser. The annual event is the only fund-raiser the group holds each year, according to volunteer Jenn Record.
In addition to the support from the community and local businesses that sponsored holes and donated raffle and silent auction items, Record credited the library, which opened its doors for the event on a day when the building would otherwise have been closed.
Record said the group was still tallying the total amounts raised, but said that nine different corporations had donated between $500 and $1,000, which the group will use toward ongoing initiatives, like the Blessings Bags and Care Caddies, which volunteers fill with toiletries and donate to local veterans homes, food pantries and domestic violence shelters.
The other ongoing program is called Meeting Our Neighbors’ Needs, Record said.
Record said it was gratifying to see how much the event and IMPACTrumbull have grown in just a few years.
“We keep beating our record every year, so we’re hoping to set the bar even higher this year,” she said.
