Go Further, Together
More Than Golf.
A premier golf event. A powerful purpose.
The Everlast Open brings together Connecticut's business owners, leaders, and growth-minded professionals for a day of golf, connection, and community impact.
Whether you're building a company, leading a team, or supporting local business — this is where you go further, together.
Why It's Different
Built for growth, connection, and giving back.
01
Business Development
Every hole is a curated experience connecting you with trusted partners, vendors, and fellow professionals.
02
Tailgate. Meet. Connect.
We kicked things off at the Sept. 5 UConn tailgate and game — so by tournament day, many of these faces are already familiar. That head start turns first introductions into real, lasting connections.
03
Built for Growth
Swap ideas and build real relationships with people who want to grow the right way — together.
04
All Sizes & Industries
Entrepreneurs, established businesses, family-owned companies, corporate leaders — everyone has a seat.

Operation Built to Last — Complete
The mission, delivered.
We're proud to have selected Jason DeAngelis and his family for Operation Built to Last. We announced them on-field at the UConn home opener, celebrated at the tailgate, and completed their new roof. Thank you to everyone who made it possible — and there's more to come at the Everlast Open reception.

Jason, in front of his family's brand-new roof

UConnGraduate · Employee · Student
Jason joined the Army straight out of high school in 2003. He served as an infantryman through multiple deployments, including Iraq and Afghanistan. Between tours and after, he worked wherever he was needed — landscaping, a textile factory, and more than seven years as an EMT.
He later used the GI Bill to return to school, earning his degree from UConn and eventually going to work there while continuing his education. He and his wife Kristina married, their family grew, and they built a life in the home Jason has lived in for nearly twenty years.
By then, the roof over that home was already decades old. Jason patched what he could, but like so many families, other essential needs kept pushing the roof further down the list. At roughly 35–40 years old, it was running on borrowed time.
When more than 60 veteran families were nominated for Operation Built to Last, Jason's name came up again and again — submitted by the people who knew him best. His story kept coming back to us.
“There are people we've never even met who helped give our family something we'll benefit from for decades. This is something our family will never forget.”
To every sponsor, golfer, and donor who made this possible — thank you. Jason's roof is built because our community showed up. Help us carry it over the finish line.
Buy a Shingle
The roof is done. Help us cover it.
Jason’s new roof is complete — Everlast fronted the work so the family didn’t wait. Every $5 buys a shingle and helps us cover the cost. Give a little or a lot; every contribution still counts.
