The Coach Baker Fund is set to have a record breaking weekend as they host an auction, dinner and tournaments galore at the Hoosick Falls Country Club. The Sixth Annual Coach Baker Fund Weekend will be June 14-15 and will consist of a silent and live auction, a dinner, a golf scramble and a basketball tournament.
Friday’s events will feature a festive dinner for friends and family of Coach Baker, as well as the larger community of Cambridge and Hoosick Falls. A cocktail hour will kick off the night at 6 pm with a mouth watering dinner, hosted by the Hoosick Falls Country Club, to follow. The buffet dinner will include London broil, chicken teriyaki, sausage & peppers, baked beans, corn on the cob and other delicious items. The evening will also include a live auction with Ron Seifert as auctioneer starting at 8 pm. The proceeds from the auction will go to the Coach Baker Fund. The cost per dinner is thirteen dollars, but the community is encouraged to come up and enjoy the other events free of charge.
Saturday’s events will consist of a 3 on 3 basketball tournament, open to boys and girls grades 4-12; it will be held at the Hoosick Falls Central School starting at 8:30 am. A sponsor of the event, Under Armour®, is providing T-shirts for the basketball tournament.
The Saturday Golf Scramble will once again include a double shotgun start with the morning group teeing off at 8 am and the afternoon group at 1 pm. All spots for both morning and afternoon tee offs are currently filled. This year we will recognize both gross and net champion teams. A small tournament presentation will conclude after the tourney between 5 and 6 pm.
The funds raised by this weekend will go to the continued mission of The Coach Baker Fund which is to financially support students through scholarship and communities through activism.
