Guy Carducci Foundation

About The Guy Carducci Foundation

The Guy Carducci Foundation was created to honor the extraordinary life and legacy of Guy Carducci—a devoted father, loving husband, cherished son, loyal friend, and respected businessman. Guy lived with purpose and integrity, guided by his personal motto: “Walk a mile in my moccasins.” He believed in empathy, hard work, and treating others with compassion and respect.

An avid golfer and proud co-owner and operator of AC Automotive in West Hartford, Guy built a successful career through relentless work ethic, determination, and honesty. He found joy and connection on the golf course—especially at his beloved Wethersfield Country Club, where he spent countless cherished hours with friends and family. Hosting the Guy Carducci Championship at this club is not just a fitting tribute—it’s a celebration of the place and people he loved most.

Guy faced pancreatic cancer with incredible courage and resilience. His fight reminds us of the fragility of life and the importance of community, love, and support. The foundation and this event carry on that spirit by raising funds to help others in their toughest battles.

Our Mission

To celebrate the life and legacy of Guy Carducci by uniting our community through golf, friendship, and giving—raising funds to support families impacted by cancer and other life-altering illnesses, and helping provide access to critical care and support services.

Our Vision

We envision a world where families facing serious illness never feel alone. Through love, remembrance, and the spirit of giving, we aim to create lasting impact, honor Guy’s strength, and bring hope to those who need it most.
