The annual event grossed more than $20,000 for Y program scholarships. YMCA staff could never have done it without its sponsors, players and donors.

Golfers purchased 85 bomb balls, which will directly benefit the youth. The tradition of the bomb ball was created in 2018 by Matt Schmidt as a fun way of improving players’ games and winning an extra raffle prize.
