Honoring the Legacy of Win Hoyt

This event proudly honors the life and legacy of Win Hoyt — a longtime Manchester resident, World War II veteran, and tireless advocate for his community. Win believed in lifting others up, whether through education, conservation, or civic engagement. His passion for service helped shape organizations like Hildene and the Ekwanok Scholarship Fund, and today, his spirit lives on in this annual tournament that carries his name.

By participating, you help keep that spirit alive — supporting the work of Habitat for Humanity to ensure everyone has a decent, affordable place to live.
