On behalf of the Basile family and Catania Oils, we extend our sincerest gratitude to every sponsor, participant, and volunteer who contributed to the remarkable success of the 35th Annual Basile Family Memorial Golf Tournament. This year’s tournament, held on Monday, September 29, 2025, is particularly significant as it coincides with Catania Oils’ 125th anniversary year, making the shared achievement even more meaningful.
Your collective generosity has once again demonstrated the profound impact of our community partnership. We are proud to announce that together, we raised an outstanding $225,000. This incredible result brings our lifetime fundraising total to $1,775,000 – and every dollar directly supports the vital work of the Jimmy Fund and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
For over three decades, this tournament has served as a cornerstone of our commitment to fighting cancer. It began as a small gathering of friends and partners and has grown into a powerful community united by a single purpose: to fund groundbreaking research and provide compassionate patient care.
Our guiding principle has always been to raise “one dollar more than the year before.” This year, your support allowed us to not only meet but substantially exceed that goal. This accomplishment is a direct reflection of your dedication and belief in the cause. The funds raised are instrumental in advancing cancer treatments and bringing hope to countless families. Your contributions enable the world-class physicians and researchers at Dana-Farber to continue their pioneering efforts in the battle against cancer.
An event of this scale is only possible through the combined efforts of many.
A Special Thank You to Christine Lynch and Billy Reilly: We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Christine, who spoke about her ongoing experience as a cancer patient, and to Billy, who shared his mother Anne’s journey with us. Their bravery and grace in sharing their personal stories was a profound reminder that every dollar raised has a real-world impact on individuals and families.
To Our Sponsors: Your partnership is the foundation of this tournament’s success. Your financial commitments provide the essential resources that make this event possible and maximize our contribution to the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. We are deeply grateful for your trust and your unwavering support. Your brand’s association with this cause speaks volumes about your company’s values and commitment to community welfare.
To Our Golfers and Participants: Thank you for bringing your enthusiasm and spirit to the greens of Pinehills Golf Club. Your participation transforms this event from a fundraiser into a true community celebration. We hope you enjoyed the day of friendly competition, networking, and camaraderie, all in support of a cause that affects so many.
To Our Volunteers and the Team at Pinehills: Your hard work and dedication behind the scenes ensure a seamless and memorable experience for everyone. From registration to the final awards, your efforts do not go unnoticed. Thank you for your time, energy, and commitment.
The success of the 35th annual tournament reinforces our resolve and dedication to the cause. As we celebrate this milestone, we are already looking toward the future and the continued impact we can make together. The fight against cancer is a marathon, not a sprint, and our sustained partnership is our greatest strength.
We are confident that with your continued support, we can keep advancing toward a world without cancer.
