• The Broadcasters Foundation of America announced that its 2023 Celebrity Golf Tournament — the organization’s second largest annual fundraiser — will be held on Monday, Sept. 11 at the Greenwich Country Club in Greenwich, CT.
Frank Comerford, Chief Revenue Officer and President of Local Sales, NBCUniversal Advertising & Partnerships, will serve as this year’s Chair. “The Broadcasters Foundation is the only charity devoted exclusively to providing aid to our colleagues in broadcasting who are in dire need,” said Comerford. “For me, chairing the Celebrity Golf Tournament is an opportunity to give back.”
Tim McCarthy, President of the Broadcasters Foundation, commented, “We’re grateful that Frank is donating his time and leadership to this year’s Celebrity Golf Tournament, which brings in a significant amount of the much-needed dollars we need to continue to help our colleagues who have fallen on tragic circumstances and need our help.”
