Our Successful Annual Golf Classic: Meeting Tangible Needs for 17 Years - The Children's Guild
At 9 am on Monday, September 16, 115 golfers cheered as The Children’s Guild’s 17th Annual Golf Classic kicked off with a shotgun start at Renditions Golf Course in Davidsonville, MD.

“We were excited to be at Renditions Golf Course for our 17th Annual Golf Classic! This event will help us meet immediate needs in our classrooms, in counseling sessions, and for students and families who need unique and nontraditional resources for special education support,” says Paul Hoyer, 2024 Annual Golf Classic Chair.

Golfers competed at a new course this year for the annual event. Renditions Golf Course gave golfers the opportunity to play replicas of legendary holes throughout the world, adding an extra element of excitement and challenge to their round. Jean Blosser, 2024 Annual Golf Classic Chair said, “There was a new thrill at this year’s tournament with this new course. It was exciting to watch my fellow golfers react to it!”

The 2024 tournament was made possible by our generous sponsors. Five Ways Forward, a coaching, consulting, and wellness company focused on helping individuals, managers, executives, teams, and organizations move forward to achieve their success – at work and in life, was this year’s tournament sponsor. “The Children’s Guild’s mission is inspiring to see in action,” says Colin McLetchie, President of Five Ways Forward. “It was so exciting to be this year’s event sponsor to help children and families in the Baltimore and D.C. area.” Other sponsors included:

“Our Annual Golf Classic is an exciting and special event,” says Victoria Davis, Manager of Corporate Partnerships for The Children’s Guild. “The money raised from this event goes directly to our programs and services to make a tangible difference in the lives of the families and students we serve through the education and services we provide. We love being able to share The Children’s Guild mission and vision with our golfers and encourage them to be ambassadors of our organization and keep coming back! Their support is making a difference across Maryland and Washington, D.C.”
