ABOUT BILLY
After a year teaching at Nativity through AmeriCorps, Billy made the difficult decision to leave and pursue his dream of living and working in Boston. He did not, however, forget his students at Nativity, and continued to stay in touch with his students and the staff.
Tragically, Billy passed away in March of 2013. With a heavy heart, Billy’s family and friends decided to turn this incredible sadness into something positive, just as Billy would have done. By Spring of 2013, the Billy D’Antonio Summer Classic was conceptualized.
This tournament combines three of Billy’s loves—golf, Nativity, and a great time with his loved ones—and is an incredible way to honor someone who touched so many lives in his short 23 years on earth.
ABOUT THE CAUSE
A group of Billy’s friends and family established Billy D. Golf with one thing in mind—keeping Billy’s spirit alive. Billy encapsulated the Jesuit mantra of being “a man for others” and one of the ways he did this was by giving back to those in need. Billy not only loved helping others, but bringing people together and having fun while doing good. In his memory, we established the Billy D’Antonio Summer Classic, an annual golf tournament held in Billy’s hometown of Rochester, NY.
All proceeds of the Billy D'Antonio Summer Classic are donated back to community organizations that were important to Billy, such as Nativity Preparatory Academy, a private charter school for underprivileged students in Rochester.
Each year, people from across the country descend upon Rochester to play in the Summer Classic, to have fun, and remember our dear friend. We hope you will join us in this special event.
