Your DRIVE will ensure SUCCESS across our community! Tee up with the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids and enjoy a full day of competition, camaraderie, food, and fun at the beautiful Egypt Valley Country Club.
Golfers and spectators of all skill levels will enjoy this day and the impact they are making throughout the Grand Rapids area. Every dollar raised will help ensure a stronger, healthier community for all through Y programs, including:
- – Swim lessons for children who wouldn’t otherwise have access.
- – Safe, enriching childcare for working families.
- – Competitive sports leagues for youth through adults.
- – Livestrong® wellness programs for cancer survivors reclaiming their health.
- – Weight loss and weight management programs for adults and seniors.
Sponsorships are available for mission-minded companies who want to join the fun and strengthen the Grand Rapids community. Many of our sponsorship packages include complimentary team of golfers (four people). Check here for details.
Form your team and get on the roster today!
Non-sponsor foursomes can play for $1,500, which includes four players (one team), a morning flight, greens fees, and food and beverages during the outing.
Can’t attend the event but still want to help?
Check out the donor form on this page to give at an amount of your choice. Your $375 (the cost for one person to play for the event) or more could help us send local kids to forge valuable life skills and lifelong bonds at summer camp, or it could provide a life-saving swim class to a child who has no other resource. There truly is No Place Like This Place, and your gift to the Y helps us reach more of our neighbors with transformative programs. We love our fun events, but the bottom line is: We need your support.
To become a sponsor or register a team, contact Beth Whalen at bwhalen@grymca.org.
