The Children’s Hospital Golf Classic invites guests to enjoy a round of golf with great company at the world-renowned Laurel Valley Golf Club in support of the greatest needs at UPMC Children’s.
About Children’s Golf Classic
Each September, golfers join together for a competitive outing with morning and afternoon flights offered on Tuesday, with opportunities to upgrade your foursome experience to include an overnight stay at Laurel Valley and an option to add a casual round of golf Monday afternoon. The Golf Classic has raised over $6.9 million since its inception.
Funds raised from the Golf Classic will go towards this effort, enhancing the tools and technology that improve clinical care, accelerating the most promising research, elevating the patient and family experience, and addressing our region’s greatest health disparities.
