Filling in the Blanks is heading back to the greens for its Thirteenth Annual Golf Outing, bringing supporters, sponsors, and community members together for a day of friendly competition with a powerful purpose. Taking place at the stunning GlenArbor Golf Club in Bedford Hills, this nearly sold‑out event fuels FITB’s mission to fight childhood hunger across our region. As the press release notes, the outing “plays a critical role in advancing FITB’s mission to provide nutritious weekend meals to children who may otherwise go without.”
Supporting More Than 10,000 Children Every Week
FITB’s impact continues to grow year after year. The organization now provides weekend meals to more than 10,000 children weekly across Fairfield, Westchester, and Putnam Counties. Their school‑based pantries and Fresh Food on the Move Mobile Pantry expand that reach even further, delivering over 1.4 million pounds of food to families in need. The press release highlights that FITB recently added a fourth mobile pantry location in Danbury, joining existing sites in Norwalk, Stamford, and Bridgeport.
A Nearly Sold‑Out Tournament With Big Community Energy
Golfers are eager to get involved—only two foursomes remain. Beyond the action on the course, the event includes a public silent auction launching May 12 at noon, giving even more people a chance to support FITB’s work. With strong community turnout year after year, the outing has become one of FITB’s most anticipated fundraising events.
A Lineup of Generous Local Sponsors
FITB extends gratitude to its dedicated sponsors who help make the outing possible. This year’s VIP Tournament Sponsors include Gradient Ridge, The Johnson Family, and The Carles Family. Cellmark joins as Titanium Sponsor, with Litchfield Underwriters and Stamford Health as Platinum Sponsors. Gradient Ridge shared why supporting FITB matters to them, noting that “Filling in the Blanks works to support America’s most vulnerable population—our children—by providing one of life’s most basic necessities: food.”
