Sean Ryan Memorial Golf Classic

10/16/2026

A big thank you to our friends at Schmit Insurance Group for their generous donation through their Share the Good program!

We are so grateful for partners like SIG who believe in giving back to their communities and helping make a difference in the lives of others.

Through the Sean Ryan Foundation, we are honored to support families navigating a brain cancer diagnosis and help ease some of the burdens that come with it. Every act of generosity helps us continue this mission and carry on Sean’s legacy.

Thank you, Schmit Insurance Group, for being part of this meaningful work and for helping us support families when they need it most! ❤️

Another quarter of Sharing the Good! ❤️

Thanks to your referrals, we were able to donate $900 to the Sean Ryan Foundation/ Sean Ryan Memorial Golf Classic , our Q3 Share the Good partner!

Founded in memory of Sean Ryan, who passed away from brain cancer in 2023, the foundation is doing something pretty special for families navigating a brain cancer diagnosis.

Each year, the foundation selects a family affected by brain cancer to support through its annual Sean Ryan Memorial Golf Classic and Benefit Dinner. These events not only raise funds to help ease the financial burden, but also give the community a chance to meet the family, hear their story, and rally around them.

Because behind every diagnosis is a person with a life full of relationships, experiences, hopes, and plans. Cancer may be part of their story, but it certainly isn't their whole story. ❤️

That's the kind of work we're proud to support.

Through our Share the Good program, every referral means $25 donated to a local nonprofit. This quarter, those referrals added up to $900!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who sent someone our way and to the Ryans, and the Sean Ryan Foundation for the meaningful work they're doing for families in our community. If you'd like to donate directly to this cause, visit their website; https://seanryanfoundation.org

We’ve been made aware of an issue with the adhesive used to attach the logo patches onto this year’s hat and we’ve had a couple instances of patches coming loose.

If you purchased a hat and have experienced an issue, please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can make it right!

We appreciate your patience and, as always, your incredible support of the Sean Ryan Foundation.

Yesterday was nothing short of incredible.

As we reflect on the 3rd Annual Sean Ryan Memorial Golf Classic, we're simply in awe of the generosity, kindness, and compassion shown by our community. Every golfer, sponsor, donor, volunteer, attendee, and supporter played a part in making this day so special.

To our amazing sponsors and donors, thank you for believing in our mission and giving so generously. To our volunteers, thank you for the countless hours you dedicated before, during, and after the event. This day would not have been possible without each and every one of you.

A heartfelt thank you to The Bridges and Signatures for once again being incredible partners and helping us create such a memorable experience for everyone who attended.

And to Nate and his family - thank you for allowing us to walk alongside you this year. It has been an honor to support you, celebrate you, and witness an entire community rally around you with such overwhelming love.

The Sean Ryan Memorial Golf Classic has always been about more than golf. It's about neighbors helping neighbors, honoring Sean's legacy, and reminding families facing a brain cancer diagnosis that they are never alone.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We are beyond grateful.
