CANCELLED – 28th Annual Matthew J. Murphy Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s golf tournament that was scheduled to take place on Monday, June 15, 2020 at the Niagara Frontier Country Club in Youngstown, NY.
After consulting with other local nonprofits who also canceled their tournaments, and considering COVID-19’s negative financial impact on individuals and businesses in our community, we decided it would be better to pause the event until next year when everyone will be in a much better position to gather together again in support of our mission to empower people to live the lives they choose.
Empower remains a dynamic organization that fulfills its commitment to the people it supports and to donors like you even in times of crisis.

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at Empower’s 2021 golf tournament!
