“Each year we strive to make Rooney’s Golf Foundation Charity Golf Tournament a memorable event for our sponsors, players and most importantly our charities.  Due to overwhelming  demand for participation in our fall golf tournament  we decided to create another great tournament, going back to where we began at Abacoa Golf Club in Jupiter, FL.  With all things new we also have introduced two new charities to our list for this very special event: Southeast Florida Honor Flight and Palm Beach County Police Athletic League. We’re also including “old” favorite FAU Honors College.  We hope you can join us for our inaugural spring tournament and help us raise money for these three amazing local charities,” said Alexis Barbish, RGF Executive Director.
