The YMCA of Klamath Falls held its second annual community golf tournament with 59 participants on June 13th at Shield Crest Golf Club. About $9,000 was raised toward reaching our 2026 YMCA Community Campaign goal of $75,000.
The KMSB Foundation pledged to match the first $20,000 raised. After one hour into the golf tournament, we did it. As of June 15th, a total of $44,486 was raised. Our thanks to Tim Bailey and the KMSB board of directors.
Everyone at the tournament enjoyed themselves and 25 prizes valued at more than $5,000 were either raffled or auctioned.
