What an incredible day!
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, golfers, donors, and volunteers, the 9th Annual Pastor Dennis K. Butts Sr. Memorial Golf Outing was our largest and most successful event to date.
Together, we raised $56,500 for scholarships and $5,600 to support families impacted by cancer.
Because of this amazing community, we have now awarded $375,000 in scholarships to students across Northeast Ohio while continuing to support those battling cancer and their families.
To everyone who sponsored, golfed, donated, volunteered, and encouraged others to support this mission—thank you. What started as a way to honor my dad's legacy continues to create opportunities that can change the trajectory of a student's life.
We can't wait to do even more in the years ahead.

This is what happens when a community believes in its students.
Scholarships become degrees. Degrees become careers. Careers strengthen families and communities for generations.
For years, the Pastor Dennis K. Butts Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund has helped make that possible. Now, we are inviting you to help continue the impact.
Register to play, become a sponsor or make a donation as we prepare for the 9th Annual Memorial Golf Outing on August 31, 2026.

Meet Spirit of Excellence Scholar Olivia Tidmore! 🎓
A recent Nordonia High School graduate, Olivia will attend Spelman College this fall, majoring in political science with a minor in philosophy on the pre-law track.
For Olivia, this scholarship represents much more than financial assistance. It eases the burden on her family, supports her educational goals and strengthens her commitment to serving her community and pursuing justice. She plans to transform empathy into action by advocating for people who may not be able to fight for themselves.
Help us continue empowering remarkable students like Olivia by donating today at ButtsFamilyScholarship.org.

$355,000 in scholarships did not happen because of one person. It happened because a community kept showing up.
Every golfer, sponsor, donor and supporter has helped turn generosity into opportunity for students working toward their future. And this year, that impact continues as another group of deserving students receives support.
You do not have to change every life. You can help change one.
