2025 Ralph C. Wilson Charity Golf Classic

Thanks to you and your loyal support, the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Charity Golf Classic to benefit the “Cure the Blue” Prostate Cancer Major Healthcare Initiative of the Buffalo Bills Alumni Foundation was a resounding success on September 22.

Your participation has allowed us to donate $50,000 to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, which was matched by a donor from Roswell for a total of $100,000. The check presentation at the Awards Dinner was the high point of the tournament for sure.

All 158 golfers enjoyed a wonderful day of golf as the weather cooperated and everyone had a great time on the links of the beautiful Cloverbank Country Club.

Once again, our honored guest Mary Wilson golfed in the tournament which made it so very special as we carried out the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. legacy with the naming of our tournament after the founder and original owner of the Buffalo Bills.

A special thanks goes out to our gracious host, the Cloverbank Country Club and especially owners Joe Lombardo, Brian Seifert and Brian Gasuik. Their support was paramount in the success of the tournament.

Also, without the unwavering support of our sponsors we could not put together the caliber of tournament that we have. Thank you to our presenting sponsor Try-It Distributing, major sponsors Hanes Supply, Alaimo Plumbing & Heating Solutions, West Herr, Graf Real Estate, Seneca Gaming Corp. and our supporting sponsors, Roswell Park, Chef’s Restaurant, Ilio DiPaolo’s Restaurant, Heritage Contract Flooring, Buffalo Bills, New Era Cap, Pepsi, VSP Graphic Group, Mary Wilson, Lombardo Funeral Home, Brian Seifert, Joe Lombardo, Dave Schneeweiss and our lunch sponsor Lab Dispensaries. And thank you to all the foursomes who participated and to my tremendous group of volunteers who are second to none!

Of course, without the vision of Buffalo Bills Wall of Famer Booker Edgerson, there would be no “Cure the Blue” prostate cancer healthcare initiative.

Also, a huge thanks to our celebrity golfers from the Buffalo Bills Alumni who participated including, Hall of Famer Joe DeLamielleure, Wall of Famer Steve Tasker, Tony Greene, Marlon Kerner, Christian Gaddis, Jeff Nixon, Mark Brammer, Ed Rutkowski and Ken Jones. Also, former Detroit Lion John Witkowski along with Buffalo Sabres Alumni Danny Gare, Don Luce and Craig Muni and of course NHL Legend and Hall of Famer Marcel Dionne.

We are already working on next year’s tournament, so I am reminding you to please be sure to include the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr Charity Golf Classic in your charitable giving budget for 2026 because it is going to be even bigger and better as together, we join the fight against the dreadful disease of prostate cancer!

Enjoy some of the photos from the tournament.

Have a blessed and healthy rest of the year and we will see you in 2026!
