Chief Richard A. Klett Golf Classic
Golf Tournament for Richard Klett Charitable Foundation, Inc.Aug 24, 2024 from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM
We are proud to announce the Chief Richard A. Klett Golf Classic is returning for 2023. On Saturday, August 24th, 2024, please join us for the 4th annual "Chief Klett Classic," hosted by Blue Fox Run Golf Course in Avon, CT. We hope you will join us, celebrate his life, and help keep his "community first" spirit alive.
Net proceeds will be used to fund an honorary NHS scholarship and assist in additional charitable
contributions within our community. He was an avid golfer, and there is no better way in our eyes to hold this event to celebrate a man who gave it his all in all aspects of his life.
Chief Richard A. Klett Golf Classic has successfully raised funds that have already been reinvested into our communities. These contributions include but are not limited to donations to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Town of Newington Food Bank, Connecticut Special Olympics, and the establishment of a scholarship for a Newington High School student.
On October 2nd, 2020, Richard A. Klett lost a six-week battle with a rare form of colorectal cancer. His loss shocked all of us who knew and loved him. He lived each day trying to contribute to his community and leaving things better than he found them. While he can no longer share his jokes and unforgettable spirit, our family and friends believed we could carry on his legacy of supporting his community.
