The Tournament

Sign Craft owners, Julie and John Wilson, local DJ Jammin' Johnny,  began their golf tournament (JJO) the same year Care & Share made its debut in East Lyme, 1989. Within a few years, JJO had added a dedicated fundraising aspect and the 1999 & 2000 tournament proceeds went to Care & Share. 

Our Team Involvement and Socializing

C & S supporters and volunteers learned to appreciate firsthand how dynamic a golf tournament could be to fundraising and community building. The Wilsons were always generous to local charities and supported Care & Share over many years.

The Importance of Fundraising

From early in its existence, C&S quickly perceived the need for funding sources and how fund raising did two things -- 

(1) obtained funds to buy things needed to establish the Pantry and to acquire food and other necessities, and (2) established or solidified long term relationships to benefit the mission of C&S.
