Canal Square Golf Outing Scores Hole-In-One for Partners With Youth!
7/24/2009
The Akron Handball Club held its annual golf outing at the Maplecrest Golf Course and had enough teams (18) for a shotgun start! It was a great day for golf, and an even greater day for the YMCA's Partners With Youth Campaign. This event will help Canal Square raise about $80,000 this year for its annual fundraising campaign. As a part of our goal to build strong kids, strong families, strong communities, this event supports the YMCA in its efforts to make programs and membership available to all. Financial Assistance may be available to those who qualify.
