DIX HILLS, NY – (June 10, 2026) – SCO Family of Services, a leading provider of essential human services for over 130 years, proudly hosted its 45^th Annual Madonna Heights Golf Classic at the Woodside Club in Muttontown, Long Island. This year’s event raised $150,000 to support the life-changing work of its Madonna Heights campus, which teaches, strengthens, and empowers adolescent girls and women to heal from trauma.

Nearly 120 golfing enthusiasts took part on a picture-perfect day for golf. The dinner program highlighted the impact of Madonna Heights’ transformative work made possible by the support of individuals and businesses throughout the community. The program was followed by a live auction of some of the area’s premier courses and the distribution of prizes to golf and raffle winners.

SCO presented the Humanitarian Award to The Clark Gillies Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting children facing physical, mental, or financial challenges. SCO recently named two therapy rooms, The Clark Gillies Foundation Child Therapy Room and The Clark Gillies Foundation Family Therapy Room, in its Madonna Heights Family Service Clinic in recognition of their generous support.

The Clark Gillies Foundation also received special citations from New York State Senator Mario Mattera and Assemblyman Steve Stern in recognition of its support for the community.

“SCO Family of Services is proud to honor The Clark Gillies Foundation,” remarked Suzette Gordon, President & CEO of SCO Family of Services. “Their compassion, generosity, and support have had a profound impact on the children and families we serve at Madonna Heights.”

SCO honored the women and girls of Madonna Heights with the Mission Award, reflecting the spirit of Madonna Heights as they heal and grow towards successful transitions back into the community.

The dinner program’s guest speaker, Brianna, a resident in Madonna Heights’ Morning Star program, shared her powerful journey of recovery as she was reunited with her young son with the support of the Morning Star program and staff.
