JOIN YLP AT THE GOLF CLASSIC Proceeds are vital to continuing rich history of charitable giving

ANTICIPATING PROBLEMS & PLANNING

For nearly 25 years, the AGC Georgia Young Leadership Program has been a model for fellow chapters across the nation. As an award-winning benefit for young professional members, those who volunteer time to help lead the YLP’s Council have a great sense of responsibility to deliver exceptional programming and leadership development opportunities, along with making a difference in the community.

One of the most important aspects of YLP is to provide opportunities for young professionals to build on their leadership skills. What better way to do that than be a part of an organization that encourages its participants to get involved from the ground up in creating dozens of professional development learning sessions, along with charitable and networking events. YLP also hosts two first-class fundraising opportunities each year – a golf tournament and a sporting clays tournament. These two tournaments are responsible for consistently raising over $90,000 each year. These dollars are allocated to the YLP Charitable Works Fund within the association’s 501(c)(3) organization, AGC of Georgia Foundation, Inc.

In 2019, proceeds from player participation and sponsorships at the Golf Classic in the spring and at the fall Sporting Clays Fundraiser allowed YLP to contribute $71,245 to many deserving organizations and causes. The group is making plans now to host the 21st Annual YLP Golf Classic. It will take place on Wednesday, May 6, 2020 at Canongate 1 Golf Club in Sharpsburg.

Traditionally, this tournament sells out two courses with just under 300 golfers taking over the 36 holes! Some of the best networking happens between tee boxes in our incredible hospitality tents! These sponsors, along with our Elite sponsors, and those who sponsor the lunch, each hole, the practice areas and many more aspects of the event are a vital part of the Classic’s success and ultimately YLP’s annual goals for charitable giving.

If you have someone in your firm who is eager to make a difference in the industry and build their leadership skills – make sure they are enrolled in the Young Leadership Program. Also, make sure you and your team are supporting this group’s incredible work by sponsoring and/or playing the upcoming Classic.
