The Kids-N-Hope Foundation's 30th Annual Golf Classic Achieves Record High Attendance and Raises Over $162,000
The Kids-N-Hope Foundation (“The Foundation”) raised over $162,000 during its 30th annual Golf Classic event at Huntingdon Valley Country Club. The annual golf outing serves as one of the signature fundraising and recognition events for The Foundation to support music therapy programs and other child life services. Presenting Sponsors of the 2025 outing included ADVANTAGE powered by JMFA, Mid-Atlantic Property Maintenance, Shields Business Solutions, Stifel, and Alacriti.
A record total of 170 golfers participated and enjoyed friendly competitions in various skills contests, which awarded winners in the Longest Drive, Putting Contest and the Closest to the Pin. This year’s event included the involvement of Mastercard Ambassador and golf legend, Curtis Strange. Mastercard sponsored a Beat the Pro contest, where participants competed in a friendly driving competition with Strange, who also provided expert tips and advice to those in attendance.
The event’s volunteer staff and golfers enjoyed an afternoon on the green and ended the day with an Awards Banquet, a Silent Auction event, and a Helicopter Golf Ball Drop, where hundreds of balls were dropped from a helicopter onto the green. The winner of this event received a cash prize and was chosen by having the ball that landed closest to the hole.
Since its inception, the Foundation has contributed over $4.5 million to the music therapy program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), as well as other pediatric health and life services at local hospitals and not-for-profit organizations. During the event’s reception, attendees were fortunate to hear from a mother whose son has benefited from CHOP’s music therapy program while undergoing treatment.
“It’s always an exciting day when Foundation supporters and event sponsors can enjoy a beautiful day on the course while raising funds for the Foundation,” stated the Foundation’s Founder and Chairman Bruce K. Foulke. “Putting this event forth for 30 years is truly an accomplishment and a testament to our tremendous supporters and our Foundation team. We are deeply appreciative of all our sponsors, business partners, credit union partners, volunteers, and event participants for their support of our Golf Classic and their unwavering commitment to the mission of the Kids-N-Hope Foundation.”
