Forge Golf Classic — Inaugural Outing Recap

To everyone who joined us for the inaugural Forge Golf Classic — thank you for making our first outing an incredible success.

From the first golfers arriving at Eagle Brook to the final putts, dinner, awards and plenty of laughs along the way, the energy throughout the day was exactly what we hoped this event could become. Great golf (and some not-so-great golf), friendly competition, an incredible group of people, and most importantly, a community coming together to support Fox Valley Forge Soccer Club and our young athletes.

To our golfers, sponsors, donors, volunteers and partners: thank you. Every foursome, sponsorship, mulligan, contest entry and contribution helps us keep investing in the experiences, programs and opportunities we provide our players and families. August 31 wasn't simply a successful golf outing — it felt like the beginning of a new Forge tradition. We'll give everyone else about 364 days to work on their game.
