We’re excited to share that the 2026 Austin Memorial Open Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, September 21, 2026, at Glastonbury Hills Country Club.

This tournament continues to be one of the most meaningful ways we come together to honor Austin’s life, celebrate his legacy, and support organizations and programs that reflect the values he cared about: family, friendship, community, athletics, inclusion, and helping others.

Registration is officially open today, July 6th, on what would have been Austin’s 27th birthday. 💙This date is incredibly special to the Stefano family, and it feels like the right day to begin welcoming golfers, dinner guests, sponsors, donors, and supporters back for another memorable event.

This year, we are offering several ways to support the tournament, including golf and dinner registration, premier sponsorship opportunities, hole sponsorships, contest sponsorships, hospitality sponsorships, raffle and silent auction donations, and other event support. Whether you are able to golf, attend dinner, sponsor the event, donate an item, or simply help spread the word, your support truly makes a difference.

We are also seeking raffle and silent auction donations, event-day volunteers, and support from anyone who would like to help make this year’s tournament another special day.

Austin was a long term sub at EHMS in the Physical Education Department the year that he died. Didn’t know the impact he had on so many students. Unbeknownst to me, he would spend a lot of time with our Special Education students. Grateful to be able to support East Hartford High’s Unified Sports program in honor of Austin. 💙

This truly means so much to me and my family! 💙

It warms my heart to see this support come full circle, being able to give back to a program that helped shape Austin into the person he became is incredibly special. Football was such a big part of his life, and knowing that today’s athletes will benefit from these upgrades makes it even more meaningful.

We are so grateful to everyone who continues to support The Austin Stefano Memorial Foundation. Because of you, we’re able to provide scholarships, resources, and opportunities that keep Austin’s spirit alive.

Wishing the Wethersfield Eagles a strong, successful 2026 season! We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way! 🏈 🦅

If you’re looking for true rest, healing, and good energy, I can’t recommend these day spas enough 💙

✨ Eliana Spa
✨ Del Sol Spa
✨ Hush Spa

These amazing spaces are owned by Katie and Heather, two women who have poured their heart and soul into creating places that feel calm, intentional, and genuinely healing. Each spa has its own personality, but the vibe is consistent, warm, welcoming, and restorative the moment you walk in.

I’ve loved every experience, from massages and facials to sauna sessions and float therapy. There are so many options, whether you’re looking to truly unplug, reset your body, or just treat yourself for a few hours. And bonus: Hush even has a speakeasy, The Den 🍸🍷🍹, such a fun and unexpected touch.

What makes them even more special? They give back to the communities they serve, which says everything about the kind of people Katie and Heather are.

Highly, highly recommend all three. You really can’t go wrong!
