23rd Annual YMCA Golf Classic
<p>This is the YMCA's 23rd year of hosting the annual Golf Classic Fundraiser! This event's net proceeds are a large contributor to each year's scholarship assistance for individuals and families of the YMCA. We assist nearly 7,000 people in our local area with fees so that the YMCA is able to grant access to all programs and services. </p><p>We know things will look different this year as we feel the lingering effects of COVID-19. That is why this event is more important than ever as there will be growing need for those throughout the YMCA association that have lost resources during this pandemic. Some changes we will be making at this year's event include: a boxed lunch will be provided to golfers to take on the course, no large banquet following play, no buffet-style dinner following play. These changes are to ensure the safety of all participants while being able to offer an event outside and full of fun!</p><p>We would love your support as we work to put on this event in a slightly different fashion than years' past. However, we feel as though golfing is a great activity to engage in as you can get outside while supporting a great cause!</p> 2020-06-26 17:00:00 -0500
