Stafford County Social Services seeks sponsors and teams for its 16th Annual Golf Classic for Stafford’s Kids. The tournament occurs Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at Augustine Golf Club, 75 Monument Drive, Stafford, VA. Social Services is also soliciting donations of golf-related items to raffle. This fundraiser provides for the needs of adults and children who are not covered by state or federal funding.
“Participants and sponsors for this tournament will be helping to provide for children, families and seniors who need a little extra help,” said Director of Social Services Michael Muse. “We invite everyone to play golf and directly impact the local community.”
One of the best ways to support the tournament is to become a sponsor. There are several different sponsorship opportunities: tournament sponsor, corporate sponsor, community sponsor, golf cart sponsor, hole sponsor, raffle item donations and goody bag sponsor. Golfers can also sign up individually for the tournament or play on a team. The cost to play includes 18 holes of golf, green and cart fees, and a barbecue lunch. Contributions may be tax-deductible. Please consult with your tax professional on the potential deductibility/amount of this contribution.
Proceeds from the event go directly back to the community through various programs and events, including an annual foster family Kings Dominion Day, assistance with prescriptions, diapers and formula, warm clothing, grocery store gift cards, supporting teens aging out of foster care and needing help setting up their new life, and more. The department hosts an annual holiday program where the public can donate food and presents. Participants receive a holiday meal at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Additionally, they receive presents at Christmas. The golf tournament proceeds help purchase items not donated to the Holiday Program.
Individual player sign-ups are $100, including play, fees and lunch. The cost is $400 for a foursome. Play starts with a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m. on June 3, 2026.
