The Root Center is excited to announce our first ever CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT! However, this charity golf tournament won’t be to benefit Root… on September 25th, 2025, we will host a charity golf outing at Lyman Orchards in Middlefield, CT, to benefit St. Vincent de Paul Middletown . Root Center feels strongly about nonprofits supporting nonprofits, and we are thankful for the work St. Vincent de Paul Middletown performs to help the residents in our state, particularly in Middletown, where Root Center proudly operates two sites. Many Root Center patients benefit from their critical services, and we are proud to support such an important mission helping some of the most marginalized members of our community. So, dust off those clubs, and get ready to play for a great cause! More information on signing up and sponsoring coming soon!
