There are some days that stand out in our calendar each year, and the Chick-fil-A & Mission of Hope Golf Classic is certainly one of them. On Thursday, September 12, 2024, we gathered for a wonderful day of camaraderie, community, and charity at the stunning Willow Creek Golf Course.

This year, we were blessed with perfect weather and the enthusiastic participation of 218 players, along with the tireless efforts of our dedicated volunteers and sponsors. The energy on the course was palpable, with everyone coming together to support a cause close to our hearts—Mission of Hope’s Back to School Program.

We owe a very special thank you to Chick-fil-A Knoxville for their continued and generous support. Their partnership over the years has been crucial to the success of this event, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their friendship.

The proceeds from this year’s Golf Classic will go directly toward helping students in need. Through our Back to School Program, we were able to serve over 10,000 students across 29 schools in rural Appalachian communities. These are not just numbers—they represent real children whose lives have been impacted by the generosity of those who attend and support our annual event.

We’re already looking forward to next year’s event, which will mark our 22nd Annual Golf Classic in September 2025. We hope you will join us for another day of fun, golf, and giving back. Together, we can continue extending hope to students who need it most.

Thank you FORE your friendship, and FORE helping us bring hope to the children and families we serve.
