WNY Optics Golf Tournament 2024

On July 18, 2024, the Annual Western New York Optics Golf Tournament occurred at Victor Hills Golf Course to benefit the Golisano Children's Hospital. This annual event linked nearly 400 optics industry professionals from across the U.S. and Canada with supporters of the children's hospital for a day of fun and philanthropy. Participants enjoyed a round of golf under beautiful sunny conditions, all while contributing to a noble cause. 

A highlight of the event was the Esco “Beer Puppeteer” game, which added an entertaining twist to the day. In this game, players tested their skills and coordination by maneuvering a marionette structure to pour a drink into their mouth, providing lots of laughter and friendly competition. The “Beer Puppeteer” quickly became a favorite, drawing cheers and applause from participants and spectators alike. 

Overall, the event was a huge success which has now raised significant funds for Golisano Children's Hospital for over 20 years. Special thanks to Danielle Bechtold and the OptiPro team for creating a seamless and fun outing. The combination of golf and unique entertainment created an unforgettable experience, demonstrating the community's generosity and commitment to supporting children's health and well-being.
