Kennett Area YMCA Good Kids Golf Classic: Tuesday, October 11th, @ Radley Run Golf Course. Check in & range @ 11am. Shotgun start @ noon. Dinner immediately following. $225/golfer, $850/foursome, $950/corporate foursome* (*includes sponsor board & program listing) – ALL includes range, box lunch, greens fees, cart, course refreshments, souvenir gift, and dinner. Modified scramble format. Prizes and contests, too!
ALL three events benefit our financial assistance program (“Good Kids”) to help ensure that no one is turned away from YMCA membership or programs due to an inability to pay. Participation in any of these events will enable a child to attend summer camp, receive before and after school care, join a youth sports league and learn to swim.
