Where the Money Goes
The Boys & Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley has been changing the lives of young people in our area for 65 years. Proceeds from this charity golf tournament will help us provide services regardless of a family’s ability to pay. Thank you for helping us help those who need us most!
About the Classic
The Boys & Girls Club Golf Classic has been run every year since 1972 and is dedicated to John “Red” Larsen. Red participated in almost every one of our charity golf tournaments and was Chairman for more than half. It was common to see Red stuffing “tee favor bags” on Sunday night or putting out sponsor signs in the morning mist. His love for children and his dedication to this Boys & Girls Club were rivaled only by his love for his family and the game of golf.
THANK YOU TO OUR 2025 SPONSORS!

Born in 1929, Raymond Haynes wasn’t one for the confines of corporate walls. After serving two terms in the Navy, he decided he’d rather build offices than sit in one, taking on odd jobs around New Haven County—building decks, replacing roofs, and remodeling homes. Joined by his brother Gene and armed with a few pickup trucks, they built Haynes Construction Company from the ground up. The company flourished for about 15 years until Ray was ready to retire. With his six children pursuing their own paths, he assumed the business he and his brother built would soon lay down its hammer. But carpentry and craftsmanship ran deep in the family. His twin sons, Tom and Paul, who had initially gone their separate ways, decided to return to their roots and revive the family business. In 1985, they picked up where their father left off, shifting from remodeling to new home construction and reestablishing the Haynes name in New Haven County. Seeing even greater potential, they transitioned into commercial work in the 1980s, sparking major growth. Today, Haynes Group owns five quarries, two retail stores, several real estate developments, and employs more than 150 people.
