🌟 WHAT. A. NIGHT! ⛳️✨

The 4th Annual Glow Ball Golf Outing is in the books, and we’re still smiling! From dinner and games to a little twilight golf and a course glowing after dark, it was such a fun night spent with people who continue to show up for Burlington’s parks. 💚

To every golfer who joined us, every sponsor and donor who supported the event, every volunteer who helped make it happen, and everyone who bid, played a game, or simply came out to be part of the fun — thank you.

Events like this are about more than one great night. Every dollar raised helps Friends of Burlington Parks continue building a sustainable source of funding for park amenities across all 13 of Burlington’s parks — investing in spaces our community can enjoy for generations to come. 🌳

📸 We captured some of the fun, but we know you did too! Drop your favorite photos from the night in the comments or tag Friends of Burlington Parks in your posts — we’d love to see the night through your eyes!

Thank you for golfing with us, laughing with us, and most importantly, supporting Burlington’s parks. Until next year! ⛳️🌙✨

🍻⛳ SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: Kozlowski Law Group

Every family has a story—and every community is made up of them. 💚

We’re proud to recognize Kozlowski Law Group as the B**r Cart Sponsor for this year’s Glow Ball Golf Outing!

With a simple invitation to “Tell Us Your Story,” Kozlowski Law Group is there to listen, advocate, and help local families navigate some of the moments when having someone in your corner matters most.

That commitment to people and community is exactly what makes their support of Friends of Burlington Parks so meaningful. Our parks are part of our stories, too—the places where our kids grow up, families gather, friendships are made, and memories become traditions.

We’re incredibly grateful to Kozlowski Law Group for investing in the community they serve and helping us continue creating places where more of those stories can be written. 💚

Thank you for being part of ours. 🍻⛳

We’re only two days away from our event and we can’t wait to make some memories with all of you!!

🌿⛳ SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: Reid's Landscapes

You know what makes a great golf course? Really good landscaping. 😉
So this sponsorship feels pretty fitting.

A huge shoutout to Reid’s Landscapes, our 2026 Clubhouse Sponsor for this year’s Glow Ball Golf Outing! 🌙⛳

Reid’s knows a thing or two about making outdoor spaces look their best, and we’re so thankful they’re helping us make our night at Flint Hills a great one, too.

Local businesses showing up for local causes is a big part of what makes this event possible—and every sponsorship helps Friends of Burlington Parks continue investing in the parks and spaces our community loves. 💚

Thank you, Reid’s Landscapes, for helping us keep the clubhouse—and our community—looking good! 🌿

✨ Want in on the fun? We still have a few team spots open! Grab your crew and join us for a night of golf, glow, and probably a little questionable putting in the dark. 😏⛳
