Catholic Charities Foundation of Northeast Kansas will host the 29th Annual Golf Classic founded by the Ben and Betty Zarda Family and presented by the Ronald D. Deffenbaugh Foundation on Monday, May 10, 2010 at Shawnee Golf and Country Club. Proceeds from this tournament will support Catholic Charities' programs and services that benefit more than 85,000 people of all faiths in need annually. More than 150 golfers will enjoy a picnic lunch, golf tournament, dinner, live auction and awards.
"We are very grateful to the Ben and Betty Zarda family for their continued dedication to the Golf Classic. With their support, we will be able to provide help to those in need," Jan Lewis, Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas President and CEO, said.
One individual entry fee will provide utilities to a family of four for three months and provide five weeks of rent to a person who would otherwise sleep in their car. One Support Sponsorship will open the door to the only men's homeless shelter in Wyandotte County to 25 men for two weeks.
