A Message From Folds Grand Rapids
We want to extend our sincere gratitude for your years of support, participation, and generosity. After careful consideration, we have made the decision to discontinue the Folds of Grand Rapids Golf Outing. While this event has been a valued tradition, we believe the time is right to evolve our approach to make an even greater and more sustainable impact.
Moving forward, we are taking a thoughtful step back to evaluate how Folds can best continue its mission in the years ahead. Our focus remains clear: providing college scholarships to the children of fallen and disabled first responders and military veterans.
We are deeply grateful for the community that has formed around this event and for the countless ways you have contributed over the years. Your support has made a lasting difference in the lives of many families, and we hope you will continue to stand with us as we begin this next chapter.
— Brad Laackman, Brian Heerdt and Jay Ofield, Folds Grand Rapids
