Once again, the ReachingU Foundation brought together the financial industry in Miami this past Friday, October 24, to celebrate the 16th edition of its now classic golf tournament. The winning team was Insigneo, composed of José Salazar, Javier Cortina Obregón, Andrés Escobar, and Francisco Canel, who scored 54 strokes (-18).
The awards for the longest drive went to Nicolás Bas (hole 15) and Vittorio Valenti (hole 5), while the closest-to-the-pin honors were claimed by Manuel Contreras (hole 3) and Pablo Zorgniotti (hole 17). Nicolás Almeida won the straightest drive award (hole 10).
The charity event, which brought together 120 golfers, volunteers, and friends, was held at the Miami Beach Club, which was closed for the event. After the tournament, attendees enjoyed a cocktail reception that also featured raffles. “Year after year, the tournament brings together community, generosity, and purpose, helping to transform the education of thousands of children and youth in Uruguay,” said Paula Mosera, Executive Director of the ReachingU Foundation.
“A heartfelt thank you to all the sponsors, golfers, and volunteers who made this 16th edition possible. Thanks to your continued commitment, we are moving forward in our mission to create more educational opportunities for children and adolescents from vulnerable backgrounds throughout Uruguay,” the foundation shared on the professional social network.
