Scholarship Fund and Gilbane’s John Hawley Big Winners at CBC Golf Outing

Kensington, CT – The Connecticut Building Congress (CBC) held its 16th Annual Robert J. LeFloch Memorial Golf Outing at Shuttle Meadow Country Club in Kensington, CT on September 28th. In the past 15 years, CBC has raised over $450,000 at its golf outing for charity and its scholarship fund. CBC’s Scholarship Fund gives several renewable scholarships to graduating Connecticut high school seniors entering college-level programs in the A/E/C industry. It was the typical festive environment for the golf outing as the skies cleared to allow a beautiful day of golf. About halfway through the round, there was an eruption of cheers from the tee box overlooking the 6th green, as John Hawley of Gilbane Building Company hit a hole-in-one. “It felt almost surreal”, Hawley said, “like ‘did that really happen’. Then my guys starting jumping up and down, and I knew.” Hawley’s ace won him more than just a round of applause at the clubhouse. He landed $25,000 in prize money for the shot. Congratulations to John!
