2024-06-24 10:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | PA
Thank you for joining us at our 7th Annual Summer Search Philadelphia Golf Classic!
Our Annual Golf Classic took place on Monday, June 24, 2024, at the prestigious Stonewall courses in Elverson, PA – where swinging for a cause met a day of camaraderie on the greens!
A day tailor-made for fun, forging connections with colleagues and friends, and most importantly, championing the transformative mission of Summer Search Philadelphia.
But wait, it didn’t stop there! On Sunday, June 23, we also teed off with our Golf Leadership Academy that introduced 40 Summer Search students and alumni to the game of golf. It’s not just about sinking putts; it’s about unlocking doors to new opportunities. Golf isn’t just a game, it’s a masterclass in life skills. A huge thank you to EY and our golf celebrity, Alexis Belton, for making the Golf Leadership Academy a reality!
To our sponsors, partners, and every hand that’s lifted to support our cause – THANK YOU! With your generous support, we were able to raise more than $230,000 for our youth! Since 2017, this event, combined with other fundraising efforts, have allowed us to deepen our impact and strengthen our program model. Whether you are a returning sponsor, or joining us for the first time, we are grateful for your support of our mission and the deserving students we serve.
