Jeff Zeitlin, board member and Guilford ABC liaison for the golf event, commented, “The spirit of the organizers and participants for this wonderful community event grows each year. Returning players are like old friends, and new players are enthusiastically welcomed. We are grateful to M.J. and her team for their ongoing support of Guilford ABC and the other worthy non-profits the event supports. It is a wonderful example of a Guilford business giving back to the community.”
The M.J. Petretto Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization established in 2009 as part of Retirement Planning Group’s commitment to give back time, talent, and money to support the efforts of Connecticut not-for-profits. The foundation’s mission is to fund organizations that support education, health, and quality of life to build stronger Connecticut communities.
In addition to Guilford A Better Chance, the event also supports Gaylord Hospital’s Spinal Cord Injury Program, Home Care Plus — Community Healthcare and Hospice (formerly VNA of Guilford) Parkinson’s Exercise and Caregiver Support Program, and the Shoreline Arts Alliance. Guilford A Better Chance, starting its 50th year, invites academically talented young women of color from under-represented communities to attend Guilford High School and enjoy the many benefits of living in the Guilford community.
