2016 YMCA Golf Tournament
Montgomery County Family YMCA Press Release (Red Oak, Iowa)
September, 2016

The Montgomery County Family YMCA held its 2016 annual four person golf tournament on Saturday, September 17th, 2016 at the beautiful Red Oak County Club. Eighteen teams of 72 players from Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas came out and enjoyed the perfect late summer weather day. All proceeds for the golf tournament benefit the 2016 Annual Campaign “The Y. For a better us.” that honors our long-lasting policy that “no one is denied a YMCA membership or programming opportunities” due to financial limitations. State and local elected officials were invited to attend an event at 7:45 – 8:45 a.m. at the Red Oak Country Club that included light breakfast refreshments and a chance to learn more about the Montgomery County Family YMCA. Their visit coincided with our YMCA Benefit Golf Tournament.  The event was honored to have State Representative David Sieck of Glenwood, Iowa and Montgomery County Supervisor District # 2 Mike Olson present to visit with the 72 golfers and address the golfers before the tournament started.  Olson also serves as the Montgomery County Family YMCA Chief Volunteer Officer. Both Sieck and Olson shared the importance of government and the YMCA organization working together to serve area residents in the areas of health/wellness, youth development and social responsibility needs.

 The YMCA was able to raise over $5,000 through this event with the support of all the golfers, aid of the Red Oak Country Club, and from contributions from hole and prize sponsors. YMCA Executive Director Nick Zimmer expressed his appreciation to all the YMCA staff and volunteers that assisted in making it a great day for all the golfers in the tournament.
