Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas is excited to announce that there are several new things happening at the 43rd Annual Ben & Betty Zarda Family Golf Classic! We are moving the location to Canyon Farms Golf Club, a premiere golf destination in Lenexa, Kansas. Canyon Farms is a par 71 course that offers challenging play for golfers at every skill level. Traditionally, the event has been held in May, but this spring it will be on Monday, April 29, 2024 and will return to a shotgun start format.

One thing that is not changing is the impact of the Golf Classic on hungry families in our community. Families who rely on free or reduced-cost lunches throughout the school year to help feed their children turn to Catholic Charities’ food pantries, monthly mobile food distributions and our Kid’s Summer Food Program for extra help during the summer months. Unfortunately, that’s also a time when donations are down and our pantry shelves are growing empty. Thanks to the generosity of the tournament’s Fund-A-Need, we can provide families the food assistance they need.

Please mark your calendars. Online registration begins March 1, 2024. Just like we do ever year, we’re going to “have fun while raising funds."

On a cold winter’s night 50 years ago, a group of inspired friends gathered over a potluck dinner with a single goal in mind — to help families served by Catholic Charities Foundation of Northeast Kansas. That night snowballed and became a spectacular annual fundraising event to provide for the most vulnerable in our community.
