A KID AGAIN MICHIGAN BENEFITS FROM SUCCESSFUL INAUGURAL APPLIED INNOVATION GOLF CLASSIC
Ann Arbor, MI– The inaugural Applied Innovation Golf Classic, held August 12, 2024 at the prestigious University of Michigan Golf Course, was a resounding success, raising significant funds to benefit A Kid Again Michigan. The event brought together community leaders, business professionals, and sports enthusiasts in a collective effort to provide hope, happiness, and healing for families raising children with life-threatening conditions.
Over 120 golfers participated in the event, enjoying a day filled with competitive play, camaraderie, and charitable spirit. Highlights included a lively 19th Hole Party, a silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind items, and a special guest appearance by former University of Michigan and NFL wide receiver Braylon Edwards. The day also saw intense competition with prizes awarded for the winning foursome, men’s and women’s long drive, and closest-to-the-pin contests.
“We are incredibly proud of the success of our first-ever Golf Classic,” said Casey Lowery, President of Applied Innovation. “The generosity and enthusiasm of our participants and sponsors exceeded all expectations. We’re thrilled to have been able to support A Kid Again Michigan in such a meaningful way, and we look forward to continuing this partnership in the years to come.”
Amy Vining, Executive Director of A Kid Again Michigan Chapter, echoed this sentiment: “The outpouring of support from the Ann Arbor community and beyond has been nothing short of extraordinary. This event will have a lasting impact on the children and families we serve, providing them with much-needed moments of joy during challenging times. We are deeply grateful to Applied Innovation for their commitment to our mission and to everyone who participated in making this day so special.”
The funds raised from the Golf Classic will directly support A Kid Again Michigan’s year-round Adventures, designed to give families raising children with life-threatening conditions a chance to make lasting memories together.
