Mt. Kisco, NY (September 10, 2010) — The 16th annual golf tournament for the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester was held Tuesday, August 10th at the GlenArbor Golf Club in Bedford Hills, NY. The tournament was a huge success, raising $42,000 for the Club. Proceeds generated from the tournament go directly towards the Club's programs and services.
