To every sponsor, donor, golfer, and volunteer: thank you. Your support continues to make this event more impactful with each passing year, and we are incredibly grateful to have such an amazing community standing behind our mission.

We’re already looking forward to returning to Topstone Golf Course in June 2027!

Until then, we’ll get back to doing the work that matters most…supporting students pursuing careers in the skilled trades and creating opportunities for their future. None of it would be possible without you. Thank You 🙏🏼
