Dear Friends,

Our 23rd Whirlpool Community Charity Golf Event (WCCGE) is going to be held on August 2nd and 3rd and we hope to see you all back this year.

Thanks to your support, over the last 22 years we have raised over $37,000,000! This has enabled us to expand and grow our local Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Southwest Michigan and First Tee – Benton Harbor programs, provide critical funding to our three local public schools systems and support our rapidly growing robotics and other select youth programs throughout the community.

The Benton Harbor Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Southwest Michigan has a Youth Center for ages 6 to 13, a Teen Center for ages 14 to 18 and various satellite locations throughout Southwest Michigan. Overall, for all Club locations, 4,029 members are supported with programming. The First Tee – Benton Harbor facility at Harbor Shores Golf Club has also produced great results with more than 3,100 participants in 2025. These programs are giving opportunities that never would have been possible for these deserving children and teens. In addition, we have been able to provide support to the foundations of our three local public schools systems enabling them to provide programs, technology, and opportunities that benefit all students in those districts.

As you know, our youth today face a number of challenges that can have a significant impact on their lives. Our local youth organizations play a vital role in helping them during these difficult times.

We have made this great progress over the years due to the great support of our Friends and Partners. Your generous support is making a huge difference in the lives of over 10,000 deserving youth annually and it is having a profound and positive impact on their futures. We hope to make 2026 our best year ever in support of these organizations.

Thank you for your continued sponsorship and we look forward to seeing you in August!

Sincerely,
