GOLFING TO
GIVE BACK
The 41st Annual Ben & Betty Zarda Family Golf Classic
Since 1981, The Ben & Betty Zarda Family Golf Classic has truly been a labor of love, raising more than $3 million for Catholic Charities Foundation of Northeast Kansas. Each year, the Fund-A-Need helps provide food assistance for families during the summer months, when donations are often low. Families who rely on free or reduced-cost lunches throughout the school year to help feed their children turn to Catholic Charities’ food pantries and monthly mass food distributions.
When you play in the Golf Classic, you are helping feed hungry families here in our community!
The Annual Ben & Betty Zarda Golf Classic benefits our food assistance initiatives, including the Kids Summer Food Program which distributed
84,111 meals
during the summer of 2021.

A Legacy of Love
Ben and Betty Zarda and Family
Last year we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Ben and Betty Zarda Family Golf Classic. This incredible milestone was made possible by the hundreds of Golf Classic sponsors over the past four decades. The best part is our golf tournament’s impact on the community. Funds raised have helped provide food assistance to thousands of families served by Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas.
The mission behind this event continues to be to “raise funds while having fun,” as Ben would have said. His and Betty’s legacies live firmly through this event and through our family, who is committed to continuing this annual tradition.
We invite you to join us as we kick off the next 40 years of the Golf Classic at the beautiful Lake Quivira Country Club on Monday, May 9, 2022. Your generous support provides not onl
