Champions for PLAY Golf Outing
Champions for PLAY Golf Outing
The Champions for PLAY Golf outing, in partnership with the Chris and Lori Holtmann Foundation, is the largest fundraiser for the PLAY Scholarship Fund. The PLAY Scholarship Fund was created to give youth in Columbus the opportunity to participate in any feed–based program offered through Columbus Recreation and Parks Department regardless of their ability to pay.
The Champions for PLAY Golf Outing attracts business leaders and sponsors from a variety of industries to enjoy a full day of golfing activities, continental breakfast, lunch reception and beverages. The continued success of this special event relies on corporate sponsorship which enables 100 percent of the golfers’ fees to go directly to the PLAY Scholarship Fund.
