Woburn, MA – Unified Construction Group of Woburn hosted its third annual charity golf tournament recently at Turner Hill Golf Club. The annual tournament brings together over 100 golfers to raise money for a different cause or charity each year.
Its first tournament in 2017 benefited the Make-A-Wish Foundation and allowed a young boy a trip to Disney World while the 2018 tournament raised money to benefit the DiStefano Family Trust. Peter DiStefano, a long-time colleague and friend to Unified Construction Group, was diagnosed with stage IV glioblastoma and the proceeds from the tournament have been used to benefit DiStefano, his wife, and children.
This year, the Boston College Campus School is the beneficiary of the funds raised from the event.
The all-day tournament consists of 18 holes of golf played by various representatives of Boston’s construction industry on Turner Hill’s scenic course. Golfers represent general contractors such as Suffolk Construction, Columbia Construction, Bond Brothers, and Boston Children’s Hospital, and subcontractors such as Aaxiom, Charles George and Pro Cut.
