About

The Golf Classic is a beloved annual event and a time for the Community Foundation to engage with our communities and have fun! Sponsorships and tournament registrations in the Golf Classic help to directly sustain the Foundation's work throughout our tri-county region and inspires local philanthropy; hence this year's theme- 'Driving Change,' which reflects the Community Foundation's commitment to mobilizing resources and working towards important causes and issues in our communities.

2023 Results

Thank you to all who joined us for a fun day on the greens on July 20, 2023, at Olympia Country & Golf Club. We are incredibly grateful to our 2023 donors, event sponsors, and Community Foundation Investors who donated items for our raffle. Together, we raised $54,930, creating some 'fairway' to a brighter future for all. Every swing, putt, raffle ticket, and contribution made during our events helps to extend our mission to inspire local philanthropy. Together, we are indeed a force for good!

This year we had a sold-out event with 130 golfers among 33 golf teams. We also had increased nonprofit participation and presence as we invited folks from the local nonprofit community to play for free or to co-create a sign with our staff to help spread the word about their nonprofit missions and impact to all in attendance. The results were incredible! 18 nonprofits participated through lawn signs, and 9 nonprofits sent board and staff representatives from their nonprofit teams to join us for a fun day of golf. We even had the Hispanic Roundtable, South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity, TOGETHER!, and TVW sponsor holes and share their work with event attendees. Many other nonprofits also helped spread the word about our event through their communications and word of mouth, and Mason General Hospital Foundation even inquired about donating a basket for our raffle. We are thrilled by the level of involvement from our nonprofit community this year, and we couldn't be more pleased to be able to play a small role in connecting people from our nonprofit community to our corporate sponsors and golfers.
