Moby Dick golf event raises $36K for Boy Scouts

The Narragansett Council Boy Scouts of America hosted 123 golfers at its 24th annual Moby Dick Scouting Golf Classic recently, raising more than $36,000.
The tournament was held on July 20 at Montaup Country Club in Portsmouth.
Proceeds from the golf tournament will help to provide leadership development programs for the youth in Southeastern New England.
“The golfers and supporters of this year’s tournament recognize the many benefits that scouting provides,” said John Mosby, Scout executive/CEO of the Narragansett Council, Boy Scouts of America. “Their participation means that we can provide more programs to local youth and promote the key skills taught in scouting, such as leadership, teamwork, and integrity.”
The winning foursome for the tournament was put together by Wolf & Company, a Boston based certified public accounting and business consulting firm.
This year’s title sponsor, St. Anne’s Credit Union of Fall River, Mass., is a longtime supporter. Its retired CEO, Jack Ledwidge, is the tournament’s founder and honorary chairman. Additional sponsors included AAA Northeast, Fiserv and Gold N’ Things.
“This year’s tournament was one of our most successful yet,” said Ledwidge, who is also vice chairman of the board at the credit union. “We are so grateful to both our sponsors and the golfers that joined us at Montaup Country Club this year. It was a terrific day to support the important programs that souting offers to our local youth and ensure that more individuals can participate in their leadership programs.”
The Narragansett Council offers a program for boys and young men ages 6 to 21 and young women ages 14 to 21, serving nearly 12,000 in Rhode Island, southeastern Massachusetts, and Pawcatuck, Conn.
