Nearly 100 golfers gathered at the Niagara Frontier Golf Club on Sept. 8, 2025, for the annual Joe Cecconi Sr. Golf Tournament, raising vital funds to benefit the Intandem Foundation.
“Events like this are essential in supporting the programs and services that empower individuals with developmental disabilities and behavioral health needs,” said Joanne Pearl & Kathleen Cassetta, Co-Chairs of the event. “We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, participants, and volunteers who make this tournament a success each year.”
A Special First: The Purple Jacket Award
This year’s tournament introduced a new tradition — the Intandem Purple Jacket Award. The honor was presented to Dawn McDonald in recognition of her remarkable 32 years of service with the Intandem Foundation. Dawn’s dedication and leadership have left a lasting impact, and we were thrilled to celebrate her contributions in front of the community.
