fajitas, door prizes will be awarded, and for those expert or just lucky golfers, hole-inone prizes will be ready for the taking. Of course, all of this sounds like a blast. But the biggest benefit of the classic is the investment in the community through the funding of Youth Development Programs that focuses on academic success, living a healthy lifestyle, as well as those that concentrate on character improvement and increasing civic engagement. Some of the academic programs that will be funded by the proceeds include annual college scholarships for youth leaders in the community and Power Hour, a homework help program for all children that attend the Boys & Girls Club after school programs. Furthermore, Healthy Habits will continue to teach children about the importance of nutrition and portion control along with physical fitness for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. To incorporate civic engagement, this year, the junior leadership Torch Club for children ages 10 to 13 is organizing and maintaining its own garden and partnering with chefs to learn how to take the harvest from garden to table. Through the Keystone Club, older youths are also making an impact among teens by hosting teen nights for alternative weekend activities and leading their peers to make good choices. If you’re a golf fan, or if you just want to be a part of transforming the lives of children in our community, join in the fun at the
