It was a fantastic day on the links at the 2015 Kennedy Golf Invitational, held September 29^th at Galloway National Golf Club in Galloway, NJ. This signature sports fundraiser – which drew more than 100 golfers and several dozen additional supporters for the post-event festivities — raised $130,000, the net proceeds of which benefit Kennedy’s Community Mental Health Outreach Program.
