We are grateful to have celebrated an incredible 44th Annual Ben & Betty Zarda Family & Friends Golf Classic!
Since 1981, this event has raised over $4 million for Catholic Charities Foundation of Northeast Kansas. This year, more than $187,000 was raised, with 91 cents of every dollar donated supporting Catholic Charities’ life-changing programs.
We rely on our special events like our Golf Classic and the generosity of our donors to carry out our critical work throughout our 21 counties. We are immensely grateful for your support of the event this year and look forward to celebrating again next year at the 45th Annual Ben & Betty Zarda Family & Friends Golf Classic in 2026!
