Sherwood Cares, the charitable foundation of Sherwood Country Club, held its annual Golf Classic on May 20, 2024 at its championship Jack Nicklaus signature golf course. The funds raised will enable Sherwood Cares to continue to grant funds to local nonprofits, positively impacting those in need within a 25-mile radius of the Club.    

 

The Sherwood Cares Golf Classic is one of two major fundraising events the foundation hosts each year.  Sherwood Cares celebrated its 10th Anniversary last year and, to date, has granted more than $6 million to 62 non-profit organizations. During the first half of 2024, it has granted more than $1 million to programs supporting children and families in the community in need of educational, medical, nutrition and safety assistance.

 

 “We are grateful for the extraordinary generosity of our members that enables us to continue making impactful contributions to those in need within our community,” said George Carney, founder and board president, Sherwood Cares. “We are dedicated to supporting programs that improve the welfare of local families.”

The tournament’s Presenting Sponsor, Polacheck’s Jewelers, continues to support Sherwood Cares, as their core values align in recognizing the impact that can be made on a community by working together to give back.  Other major sponsors include AmeriHome Mortgage, BG Law, McLaren Westlake, and  the Tesoriero and Weinstein families.

“Monday was truly special, seeing everyone come together for such a wonderful cause. The Sherwood Cares team did a remarkable job. It was heartwarming to catch up with everyone and see how excited they were to be there,” said Brent Polacheck, president of Polacheck’s Jewelers.

 

The hole-in-one opportunities were second to none, unfortunately with no winners, and included a one-year lease on a McLaren Artura from McLaren Westlake and Breitling Endurance Pro Chronograph Timepieces from Polacheck’s Jewelers. Participants received a Sherwood Country Club Pro Shop shopping spree and gifts from sponsors.  Golfers also enjoyed a coffee/smoothie truck, dipped ice cream cart, signature cocktails, on-course massages and even a sushi bar on hole 14!
