It is that time of year....

The time to think about the Golf Outings of the summer... who to support, which outing fits the best into the calendar, and most importantly- which one is the most fun!

Well, we have ALL of those covered!

1. House of Providence and FADM support our local children! There is no better investment than our babies!
2. We have two dates to fit your calendar - (if you sponsor one you are highlighted at both!)
3. Both of these outings are the best in Macomb! The food is great, the golf course is amazing, the PEOPLE are incredible!

Help us make year 6 the best year yet! If you want to golf, sponsor, or just support the mission — we’d love to have you involved.
