On Monday, we had our Volunteer Appreciation Golf Outing at Railside Golf Club - Alder & Iron Restaurant! ⛳

We started the day with a volunteer training, where our mentors learned some new games and coaching techniques, followed by an outing featuring scramble and match play.

It was a beautiful day to celebrate so many of our amazing volunteers who give their time and care to help make our programs a success. We’re so grateful for all they do and the impact they make on our students! 💚

A special thank you to Railside Golf Club for hosting us!

Happy National Coaches Day! 💚

We’re so grateful for each and every one of our coaches who make an impact on our students. They teach much more than golf. They help students build confidence, character and skills they can carry with them far beyond the course.

Thank you for everything you do! We appreciate you! ⛳
