The Pete Nance Boys & Girls Club is bringing together community, camaraderie, and competition for a great cause with its inaugural golf fundraising event, Tee It Up for Kids, set for Sunday, September 29 at the beautiful Harbor Club golf course.

This exciting new tradition combines the joy of golf with the mission of supporting the youth of Greene, Putnam, and surrounding counties—helping ensure that every child has access to safe spaces, enriching programs, and mentors who make a difference.

A Day of Fun and Philanthropy
