Flynn Energy Golf Tournament

Towanda, PA –Year after year, Flynn Energy hosts a golf tournament at Towanda Country Club to help raise funds for a local in need. This year, it was Mason Barto’s turn.

Flynn Energy, located in Towanda, PA, announced today that its eighth annual charity golf tournament raised $17,095 to help Mason and his family fight congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG). Diagnosed at a young age, Mason’s will to live has seen him to the age of 17—and he plans on doing a lot more living.

The tournament was put on to do just that. Each year, the Barto’s travel to see specialists—an expensive endeavor for Mason to receive the best possible care. Funds raised at tournament will help cover those costs, and ease the financial burden on the Barto family.

“He’s an amazing young man,” said EJ Flynn, owner of Flynn Energy, following the tournament in June. “Our community is full of amazing, generous people. We’ve given Mason some hope today.”

Hope, indeed.
