Announcing the Inaugural “Swing for the Y” Golf Tournament

The New River YMCA is proud to announce its inaugural “Swing for the Y” Golf Tournament, a fundraising event dedicated to supporting our Annual Impact Fund.

Join us on Friday, October 3, 2025, at the Jacksonville Country Club for a day of golf, community, and giving back. Lunch will be served at 12:00 PM, with a shotgun start and tee off at 1:00 PM.

This is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a round of golf while directly contributing to programs that build a stronger community. We invite you to gather your team of four and register today for a fee of $400 per team.

We extend a special thank you to our title sponsor, Southern Touch Painting, for their generous support. All funds raised will directly benefit the New River YMCA’s Annual Impact Fund.
