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 friend. This tournament combines three of Billy’s loves—golf, giving back to his community, and having a great Time with his loved ones. Not to mention, it is an incredible way to honor someone who touched so many lives in his short 23 years on earth.
