August 5, 2010 — Pat Mahon of Hopkinton will be honored this year at the fourth annual Bethany Health Care Golf Tournament, which is scheduled to be held on Monday August 30 at the Charter Oak Country Club in Hudson, it was announced today. (HopNews file photo)
 

Mahon, who is the second recipient of the “Outstanding Community Service Award”, is being recognized for “his tireless dedication to youth sports in Hopkinton and the surrounding area, over the last ten years”, according to Tournament Chairman, Tom Carey. Mahon’s resume includes being President of the Hopkinton Little League from 2002 until 2009. For the last six years he has served as Vice President of the Hopkinton /Ashland Pop Warner Football and Cheerleading Organization, and President of the Hopkinton Babe Ruth League. Pat has also volunteered the last three years as a member of Hopkinton’s Marathon Committee and was elected to Hopkinton’s Parks and Recreation Commission in 2006, a post he continues to hold today.

Mahon follows retired Deputy Chief of the Framingham Fire Department David Lumsden, who worked thirty-two years as a Framingham Firefighter, who was the first winner of the coveted award.

A native of New Jersey, Mahon was educated at Saint Benedict’s Prep in Newark and attended Hartwick College, N.Y. Mahon earned a Law degree at Seton Hall. He attributes much of his success to the lessons learned through Catholic education.

Celebrating the occasion as emcee and auctioneer during dinner will be Natick’s own celebrated sports columnist, Lenny Megliola. Mr. Megliola has been a sports columnist in the Boston area for over 35 years. He has won numerous New England and two national awards for excellence in sports writing. Currently Megliola writes for the MetroWest Daily News, Boston Globe and New England Baseball Journal. Mr. Megliola has covered everything from the World Series and Superbowls, NHL and NBA Finals, to the World Cup of Soccer and Championship boxing.

Distinguished guest at this year’s tournament is former Boston Celtics great and NBA Hall of Fame honoree Tom Heinsohn. After a prolific college basketball career, Heinsohn played as a power forward for the Celtics. Known for his hard-nosed style of play, yet possessing a superb shooting touch and good body control, Tom Heinsohn was a vital cog in the Boston Celtics’ dynasty of the 1950s and 1960s. Chosen as NBA Rookie of the Year in 1957, Heinsohn helped the Celtics win eight NBA titles. After retiring as a player in 1965, Heinsohn then served as head coach of the Celtics from 1969 until 1978. Tom now works as the lead color commentator for Comcast Sports New England, the official broadcast home of Boston Celtics Basketball. A graduate of the College of the Holy Cross, Tom graduated as the all-time leading scorer in the school’s history.

The golf tournament has raised $135,000 over the last three years for the Bethany Health Care Center, which is located in Framingham. Bethany, which has won several awards for providing outstanding patient care in recent years, is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston. “The proceeds of the tournament assist the Sisters in their efforts of providing outstanding care in a very challenging health care environment.” Carey said.
