Thank you, Chicago! 💜

We are so grateful to everyone who joined us for an incredible TAKE Defense class at St. Andrews!

And a huge thank you to all of our sponsors who helped make this class possible. Your support allows us to continue giving girls and women the skills, confidence, and tools to protect themselves.

We couldn’t do this without our Foundation Family. 💕

We’re excited to welcome two incredible new sponsors to the 2026 Roger Kemp Golf Tournament! 💜⛳

A huge thank you to Zarda Bar-B-Q, our Post Dinner Sponsor, for helping us end the day with one of Kansas City’s most iconic barbecue traditions. Proudly serving KC since 1976, we’re thrilled to have them join our Foundation Family this year.

We’re also excited to welcome LIV TMS as a new Birdie Sponsor. Their generous support helps make our mission possible, and we’re grateful to have them as part of our Foundation Family.

Because of sponsors like these, our tournament is officially SOLD OUT! Thank you to everyone who has supported TAKE Defense and the Ali Kemp Educational Foundation. We’ll see you on the course on September 21! 💜
