ON COURSE FOR A CAUSE!

Todd served as the Executive Director of the YMCA for many years. We aren't just memorializing a great man, but a leader, an influencer, a great father, and a great citizen who contributed his time and energy into helping others. There is no better way to spend a fall day than on beautiful Willow Creek playing a game of golf while at the same time benefiting others in our community! This 18-hole tournament allows you to gather some friends for a casual game of golf – four person best ball format. Before your round begins, come enjoy lunch at the course.

HOLE SPONSORSHIPS:

WHY THE Y? At the Le Mars YMCA we do not turn anyone away for the inability to pay. 100% of the proceeds from this event go directly back to our community. That is why we have sponsorship levels that offer name recognition and visibility during the tournament. Proceeds from the tournament subsidize Y memberships and programs for individuals and families who need financial assistance.

We are also looking for hole sponsors to help support the YMCA through this fundraising event.  

BLACK LEVEL: $200-$299.  Small black logo on hole signs.

PURPLE LEVEL: $300-$599.  Bigger, color logo on hole signs.

GOLD LEVEL: $600+.  Big, color logo on hole signs AND 4-person golf team registration.
