Raising the Next Generation of Champions & Change Makers!
Join us for the Fore a Better Future Youth Golf Challenge, where young golfers of all skill levels come together for a fun and inclusive day on the green. Proceeds support LARC’s mission to empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through life-changing programs and services.
The Fore the Future Junior Golf Challenge is the first youth golf fundraiser of its kind in our community, created just for elementary, middle, and high school students of all skill levels. Whether you’re just learning the game or already crushing it on the course, this tournament is for YOU.
The event begins with an 8:30 AM shotgun scramble at Crown Colony Golf & Country Club. Golfers can choose to play 9 or 18 holes, depending on skill level and comfort. Entry is $250 and includes an event t-shirt, swag bag, and lunch. Age divisions:
• Elementary (grades 1–5)
• Middle (grades 6–8)
• High School (grades 9–12)
The day features fun on-course challenges, exciting prizes, and a celebration that honors every participant. Don’t miss the Hole-in-One Challenge for a chance to win a magical Disney vacation for four!
Participants are encouraged to raise funds to support LARC’s programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The top three fundraisers will win amazing prizes, and we make it easy to reach your goal:
Ways to Raise $250 or More:
- Ask 10 people to give $25 or 25 to give $10—any mix works!
- Run a Sponsor-Per-Hole Challenge (e.g., $10 per hole x 9 holes = $90)
- Launch a Collect Change Campaign with a decorated jar at home
- Request donations in place of birthday or holiday gifts
- Offer yard work, dog walking, or chore services for donations
- Post a social media fundraiser video (with a parent’s help!)
Why You Should Join:
- Make a Difference: Your fundraising helps individuals with disabilities build skills, find jobs, and live fuller lives
- Be a Leader: Show the community what youth can do to promote inclusion and kindness
- Have Fun & Be Recognized: All skill levels welcome, and everyone is celebrated for their impact
Hosted by LARC, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving Southwest Florida since 1954, the Youth Golf Challenge supports over 300 individuals each year through life skills training, youth and vocational programs, residential support, and inclusive community initiatives.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available so everyone can support the cause—even if they don’t play!
