Ben and Betty Zarda and Family
Dear friends,
Nearly 40 years ago, Ben Zarda teamed up with his brother, Tom, to host the first Golf Classic to benefit the work of Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas. Since then, each May on the Monday after Mother’s Day, our family has hosted the Ben and Betty Zarda Family Golf Classic.
The mission behind the Golf Classic has always been to “raise funds
while having fun” as Ben would have said. This past year, we said
goodbye to both Ben and Betty. This event meant so much to them,
and we know they are smiling down on us on this very special
anniversary year.
As we prepare to celebrate this special milestone, our family would
like to invite you to join us in supporting this special day that means
so much to us – and to all of those served by Catholic Charities of
Northeast Kansas.
Thank you,
The Ben & Betty Zarda Family
