OVERVIEW:
Please join us for our 25th Annual Champions for PLAY golf event. The outing features a four-person scramble benefiting the PLAY Scholarship Fund. This high-profile event attracts business leaders and sponsors from a variety of industries to enjoy a full day of golfing activities, continental breakfast, box lunch, beverages and concluding reception. The continued success of this special event relies on corporate sponsorship which enables 100% of the golfers' fees to go directly to the PLAY Scholarship fund.
For everyone’s safety, COVID-19 precautions will be in place. Adjustments may need to be made as the event approaches based on local and State safety protocols. Our priority is the health and safety of our golfers, staff and volunteers.

The Brian S. Casey Family Memorial Fund was established to honor Brian and his 19-year-old daughter, Megan, who tragically lost their lives in a plane crash in 2016. Brian was a strong believer in the PLAY program and served on the PLAY Golf Committee for many years. His wife, Sharon, started the fund to continue Brian’s commitment to the PLAY program. Thanks to the generosity of the Casey Family, your donation to the PLAY program this spring will be matched up to $10,000. Donate now: http://bit.ly/CaseyMatchingFund

ABOUT THE PLAY SCHOLARSHIP FUND:
The PLAY Scholarship Fund was created because the City of Columbus believes all kids deserve the chance to play regardless of ability to pay. Financially-challenged families with children 18 years and younger can apply for a PLAY Scholarship for any fee-based program offered through Columbus Recreation and Parks. Each year thousands of children are able to take art classes, learn karate, or join a basketball league thanks to the PLAY Scholarship Fund. The fund is entirely funded through proceeds raised at the annual PLAY Golf Outing and other donations from corporations, foundations and individuals. See videos below to learn more.
