In addition to golf, participants at the tournament enjoyed the return of activity stations set up by member businesses displayed throughout the course, offering a variety of games and giveaways. The increase in regional participation at this
year’s tournament was unmatched, with a record-breaking 34 businesses and organizations signing up for on-course advertising, and 24 of those attending to set up vendor stations with branded displays. This growing number reflected a 26% increase over last year’s event participation, reinforcing the value of the regional connections that businesses continue to receive at this popular once-a-year occasion.
“We wish to thank this year’s sponsors and supporters and our Annual Partners for their generosity and support in helping to make events such as these possible,” stated Miranda Odell, Chamber President.
Promotional Sponsors for this year’s tournament were Beginnings Credit Union and Cayuga Nation Enterprises. Additional contributions were supplied by Geneva Club Beverage, Wegmans of Geneva, and Mark’s Pizzeria in Geneva. The event was also supported by the Chamber’s 2026 Annual Partners: Canandaigua National Bank, Casella Waste Systems Inc, Community Broadband Networks, Emerson Commercial Cleaning, ESL Federal Credit Union, Fairfield by Marriott, Finger Lakes Partners Insurance, Four Winds Chimney, Guardian Glass, Halco Home Solutions, HEP Sales & North Main Lumber, Lakeside Roofing & Siding Materials Inc, Massa Construction, N-Hance of the Finger Lakes, Reliant Credit Union, and Waterloo Container.
The 2026 Chamber Cup Golf Tournament was coordinated by Chamber President Miranda Odell and Event Chair Sabrina

smooth multi-stop registration and check-in process, as well as the on-course games fundraising component.
“Special thanks to Sabrina Buckley of Community Broadband FLX for working many late hours on this event and going
above and beyond as an honorary Chamber team member. She was responsible for coordinating many of the details that
go on behind the scenes, that our event participants do not see, but are critical for the event to run successfully, and for
that I’m extremely grateful,” Odell added.
