Participate in the WNY Optics Golf Tournament on July 21st!

The 16th annual WNY Optics Golf Tournament will tee off the day after OptiPro's Optics Open House! If you have never participated in this event, we encourage you to experience it for the first time! The WNY Optics Golf Tournament, founded by Ron Schulmerich of Esco Optics and his wife Diane, takes place every summer to benefit Golisano Children's Hospital in Rochester, NY. Last year's tournament was a huge success, as the two primary courses hosting the tournament were completely filled with additional foursomes at a third course! Over 300 golfers participated, representing optics companies all over the U.S., and $47,000 were raised in last year's tournament for a total of $246,568 over the event's 15 year history!

The primary course for this year's tournament and dinner will now be held at Eagle Vale Golf Course in Fairport, NY. Shadow Lake and Greystone golf courses will continue to hold the tournament portion of the event.

To donate to Golisano Children's Hospital or become a sponsor of the golf tournament, please send emails to WNYOpticsGolfTournament@optipro.com
