Giving back has always been at the core of Kelser’s culture, contributing in various ways to the local community. As much as the unpredictable New England weather will allow, golf events become an integral part of our philanthropic endeavors. The last few months have been our busiest season to date. Whether as player, sponsor, or volunteer, Kelser has participated in 8 recent golf events, all for well deserving organizations, highlighted by our own 15th Annual Kelser Charity Challenge.

Arriving to clouds and a steady drizzle, participants in the Kelser Corporation 15th Annual Charity Challenge stood under tents and dropped off golf bags to covered carts. Volunteers had been busily preparing the grounds at the Indian Hill Country Club all morning to meet the wet conditions and 116 golfers who participated in the event. At first, the weather seemed like it might put a dampening on the charity event.

The Manchester Community College Foundation and Webster Bank hosted the annual Evening of Fine Wines. The spirit of this evening is to raise funds for student scholarships through an exciting live auction of premium wines and champagnes as well as a silent auction of luxurious excursions, artwork and much more!
