Proceeds from the golf outing will go toward funding services that help change the lives of individuals in the community. "It never ceases to amaze me the breadth of services offered by The Bridge to so many children and families, with so little resources," said Michael Kabarec, Event Chair. "The Bridge is a treasured community resource helping many that are unable to help themselves. This resource needs to be nurtured and allowed to grow to serve even more children and families.”

The Bridge’s goal is to raise over $75,000 for its community-focused programs and services. These services are available to all families, regardless of ability to pay.
