• Proceeds will go to the ‘Y’ Campaign for Youth & Families/ Four-person scramble set for June 3 at TimberCreek

MOBILE, Ala.—The YMCA of South Alabama invites the communities of Mobile and Baldwin counties to tee up for a good cause at its Seventh Annual Golf Classic Tournament on Friday, June 3 at TimberCreek Golf Course. A leading nonprofit for 160 years, the YMCA is dedicated to strengthening the community and ensuring that every individual has access to the essentials needed to learn, grow and thrive. The YMCA of South Alabama will host two association-wide events this year aimed at realizing this mission. The proceeds will benefit children and families across Mobile and Baldwin counties.

The tournament will consist of a four-person scramble format, with check-in beginning at 7:30 a.m. and a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. Registration is $100 per golfer and $400 per team, which includes a light breakfast and lunch. Sponsors may also purchase banners for $1,300 and tee signs for $100 per hole or $175 for two holes.

Proceeds will go toward the ‘Y’ Campaign for Youth & Families, aimed at ensuring that all children and families, regardless of income, have a chance to benefit from the YMCA’s life-changing programs and services. The ‘Y’ Campaign empowers children and adults to lead healthy lifestyles by providing access to swim lessons, summer camp, afterschool care, group fitness classes and sports. In addition, proceeds from the Golf Classic Tournament will fund child scholarships designed to foster lifelong health through a YMCA youth obesity initiative.

“The success of this tournament will strengthen our community by allowing us to offer valuable resources to more children, single parents and families,” said Sue Sanders, CEO of the YMCA of South Alabama. “Each dollar we raise will help provide those in need with the opportunity to lead healthier, more confident lives.”

Interested participants can learn more information and register online at YMCA of South Alabama or in person at any of the YMCA of South Alabama’s five branches.

YMCA of South Alabama has five branches -- three in Mobile County and two in Baldwin County. The YMCA is one of the nation's leading nonprofits in strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
