CHANGING THE FUTURE TAKES ALL OF US
Every child deserves a school with the resources to help them thrive. Every teacher deserves the tools to help their students succeed. And every one of us has the opportunity to be part of making that possible.
For the past ten years, Detroit Children's Fund's Annual Golf Outing has brought together a community of people who believe in the future of Detroit. Together, we've helped schools provide academic intervention, career exploration, student supports, teacher development, and countless other opportunities that are changing the trajectory of young lives.
Join us for our 10th Annual Golf Outing and be part of what's possible when a community comes together to invest in Detroit students. Together, we can help ensure every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and build the future they deserve.
