Virtual Golf Simulator Event in New York Raises Funds for TACLF in Honor of Thomas A. Costello

New York, NY – June 2024 – In June of 2024, a special virtual golf simulator event took place in New York City, bringing together a passionate group of friends, family, and colleagues to honor the memory of Thomas A. Costello. Organized by Rothschild & Co., alongside many others who admired Thomas, the event raised critical funds for the Thomas A. Costello Legacy Foundation (TACLF), which supports education, mentorship, and career development for underserved youth.

Held at a cutting-edge golf facility, the event allowed participants to play on virtual replicas of some of the world’s most famous golf courses. Using high-tech simulators, golfers of all skill levels had the chance to compete in a series of fun and friendly tournaments, all while enjoying the camaraderie and competitive spirit that Thomas was known for.

The event was a fitting tribute to Thomas’ love of golf and his unwavering commitment to giving back. Friends, colleagues from Rothschild & Co., family members, and supporters of TACLF gathered not only to play golf but to share stories about Thomas’ lasting impact on their lives. His leadership, generosity, and dedication to making a difference through education left an indelible mark on those who knew him.

“Thomas was a man who understood the power of opportunity,” said one of the event organizers. “Whether through his career or his philanthropic work, he was always focused on helping others reach their potential. This event blends his passion for golf with his legacy of supporting young people through TACLF.”

In addition to the golf competitions, the event featured a silent auction, offering a range of exclusive items and experiences, with proceeds benefitting TACLF’s mission. The foundation, established in Thomas’ honor, works to provide scholarships, mentorship, and educational resources for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, empowering them to achieve their dreams.

“The support we’ve received today means so much to our mission,” said a representative from the Thomas A. Costello Legacy Foundation. “This event is a wonderful reflection of Thomas’ legacy. The funds raised will go directly toward providing life-changing opportunities for youth, just as Thomas always intended.”
