The Children's Aid Society Golf Classic

A Day on the Greens = A Better Future for New York Youth

At the 9th Annual Children’s Aid Society Golf Classic on May 19th, 2008, golfers from across the country enjoyed spending a day on the greens at the renowned Baltusrol Golf Club while helping underserved children. Baltusrol is one of the premiere courses in the country and has the remarkable history of hosting 15 national championship tournaments including the 87th PGA Championship in 2005.

Thanks to our generous supporters, this year’s Classic raised over $330,000. A special thank you to our lead sponsors, Accenture, The Riley Family Foundation and UBS, for their continued commitment to New York’s youth.

The CAS Classic filled both the upper and lower courses at Baltusrol. It kicked off with a brunch, followed by 18 holes, and ended with a cocktail reception, awards ceremony and spirited live auction. Over 30 prizes were awarded to the winners of the skills contests.

The net proceeds of the 2008 Classic will support Community Schools and the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Programs— two Children’s Aid programs dedicated to supporting the well-being of New York City children. The Community School program removes barriers for New York’s neediest children by providing academic support, art and recreation activities, and leadership development along with access to medical, dental and mental health care. The Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention program empowers teens to achieve a better future by avoiding early pregnancy and other risky behavior.
