Ernest W. “Ernie” Kaulbach was a retired Bridgeport industrialist and philanthropist. Born in Long Island in 1912, he moved to Bridgeport in 1933 and worked hard in the place he called home. In 1945, he started the Park City Supply Co., a wholesale distributor of industrial pipe, valves and fittings, long considered a leader in the industry.
When not managing his successful regional business, Ernie loved to play golf. He was a member of the President Country Club of West Palm Beach, FL and Brooklawn Country Club in Fairfield, CT. In 1985, his love for golf and charitable giving inspired him to establish the Ernie Kaulbach Pro-Am Golf Classic. Initially the Golf Classic was a benefit for the Ahlbin Rehabilitation Centers at Bridgeport Hospital. Since his death in 1997, the golf classic has supported oncology services at Bridgeport Hospital. Ernie grew very fond of the nurses who cared for him during the illness that took his life and wanted to be sure they and other caregivers had the resources they needed to care for cancer patients effectively.
In addition to his support of the oncology program, Bridgeport Hospital named its Parking Pavilion after Ernie and his wife Agnes in honor of their longtime generosity.
Ernie Kaulbach was much beloved and is much missed. His legacy of philanthropy lives on at Bridgeport Hospital and in the many other charitable organizations still supported by the Agnes W. and Ernest W. Kaulbach Foundation.
44th Anniversary Kaulbach Memorial Golf Classic to Benefit a Survivorship Clinic at Bridgeport Hospital's Smilow Care Centers.

Proceeds from this year’s event will support a new three-year commitment to Bridgeport Hospital’s Smilow Survivorship Clinic. The Clinic is comprised of a team of compassionate clinicians led by a Survivorship Coordinator, who works to guide and empower patients to take steps to maximize their health, quality of life, and longevity. The team educates patients on the prevention, detection and care for complications resulting from cancer treatment. Patients are counseled by a medical oncologist, a nurse practitioner, a registered dietitian, a physical therapist, and a clinical social worker. Bridgeport Hospital cares for more than 2,000 new cancer patients each year, and our Survivorship Clinic is essential to their journey. You can help ensure that every new patient has access to our clinic. In addition to our Survivorship Clinic, revenue from this year’s event will continue to support our On-Call Oncology Chaplaincy Program and the Sue Tenney, RN Oncology Nursing Scholarship Fund.
Your support of the Kaulbach Memorial Golf Classic will enable Bridgeport Hospital to expand access to these care professionals and improve outcomes for countless patients.
On behalf of all those we serve, thank you for your generous support and compassion!
The Kaulbach Golf Classic was selected as the only charity golf tournament that takes place in Connecticut to be featured in the 2016 book written by Joel Zuckerman, Golfers Giving Back: Exceptional Charity Tournaments Coast to Coast
