Help Drive Out Hunger in Our Community
In the last several years, the Golf Classic’s Fund-A-Need has successfully supported Catholic Charities’ summer food initiatives. Typically, donations are down nearly 50% during those months, yet the need increases by 27% as kids are home for break.
This year the circumstances are different, and the need for food is even greater.
Due to COVID-19, many businesses have closed their doors, and many jobs have been lost. As more and more families are facing financial hardships, they are turning to Catholic Charities for help. Your support of the Golf Classic will help the agency continue to serve families in need.
Join us in overcoming this Summer Food Drought, while enjoying a great game of golf, a raffle, lunch, and more!

A Lifelong Legacy
Betty Zarda
The Ben & Betty Zarda Family Golf Classic has truly been a labor of love, raising more than $3 million for Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas since its start in 1981. In August 2019, Betty passed away. Her giving and generous spirit lives on through her family and this event, which raises funds to help feed families in need.
