CASA of the South Plains Invites Community to Join the 2026 CASA Classic Golf Tournament
The CASA Classic will take place Monday, October 26, at Hillcrest Country Club in Lubbock, featuring two flights with space for 36 teams. With the tournament just weeks away, now is the time for local businesses and community members to secure their teams and sponsorships. The CASA Classic brings the community together for a day of golf, while raising critical funds to support children in foster care throughout the South Plains.
The deadline to secure a team or sponsorship is Friday, October 9. CASA of the South Plains is inviting local businesses, organizations, and community members to get involved and help make this year’s event a success. Sponsorships that include event signage must be secured by October 9 to allow time for signage production ahead of the tournament.
CASA of the South Plains is currently serving 55% of children in foster care in its six-county service area. Every child who enters foster care has experienced abuse or neglect. Fundraisers like the CASA Classic help CASA continue providing trained advocates for children who need someone in their corner. By participating in the CASA Classic, community members help provide more children with the gift of a CASA— a consistent adult who walks alongside them, makes sure their voices are heard, and advocates for their best interests throughout their time in foster care.
Whether you’re a longtime supporter of CASA or have never participated before, this is an opportunity to make an impact for children while bringing your team together for a great day on the course. With the tournament just weeks away, CASA is asking the community to grab your team, secure your sponsorship by October 9, and help fill the course for a cause that matters.
The CASA Classic needs you. To register you can visit CASAoftheSouthPlains.org .
For more information or questions on how to become a sponsor, participating in the tournament or even becoming a volunteer, please contact Lauren White, at (806)763-2272 or via email at [email protected] .
