The Higgins Memorial golf Tournament Fund at the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation made possible over $5,000 in grants in 2019, including a recent $3,000 grant to Empire Animal Rescue Society in Salamanca.
The Higgins Memorial Golf Tournament hosts golfers in competition in memory of the late Frank W. Higgins II and Frank W. Higgins III, with the proceeds raised benefiting charitable and community organizations in the region each year.
Empire Animal Rescue Society has been a major benefactor of the Higgins Memorial Fund for a number of years as the organization has become one of a deep connection for Frank Higgins, who established the fund and organizes the annual tournament with the rest of the Higgins Memorial committee.
