The Arrigo Family Instrumental as Official Partner for over 30 years
From Tournament Title Sponsors to their Hall of Fame Legacy; PBCGA is Grateful for the Arrigo Brothers Impact
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fl. — Its been over 25 years since The Palm Beach County Golf Association announced an Official Partnership with The Arrigo Family.
“We are thankful to have had the Arrigo Family and The Arrigo Automotive Group join us as an Official Partner for so many years,” said Jordan Schneider, PBCGA executive director. “The Arrigo Brothers provided so much for our local golf community. When we say we wouldn’t be where we are today without the Arrigo’s we would likely be short 50 events, 30+ scholarships and a couple amazing guys!”
On behalf of the board of directors we would like to thank them family for partnering with PBCGA, and helping out in a major way, not only with providing sponsorship and scholarships for local students but participating and enjoying the association first hand. Many memories and stories to be told from all the years. The Arrigo’s have been a huge part of Palm Beach County Golf Association, and we are forever grateful.
The 42nd Four Ball Championship will be conducted May 5-7, 2023 at Bear Lakes Country Club. With the passing of the torch, the staple event will be retitled for our newest Title Sponsor.
