KATHLEEN SMITH Editor
Another beautiful day of golf is in the books, and another successful golf tournament for the Hunter Costello Memorial Fun-dation (HCMF). On July 13 the sixth annual HCMF golf tournament raised $16,500, which will go a long way towards helping local families in the community. The tournament hosted 27 teams and 106 golfers. Inspired by a brave and kind little boy the HCMF was
born in April 2017. The HCMF raises funds to provide financial relief to families with ill or injured children in the community. With help from fundraising events such as the annual golf tournament, the HCMF has donated over $55,000 to local families. Ken Costello of the HCMF said that the foundation is lucky to have a great support group, and that without family, friends and volunteers their fundraising efforts would not be successful.
