Gillis Golf Classic

The Gillis Golf Classic has raised more than a million dollars in its 15-year history, supporting the programs and services offered by Gillis to children and families. Equally important, a great day of golf at a challenging course offers all participants an opportunity to help meet the needs of Kansas City children and families.

A six-person scramble format ensures plenty of opportunities to visit and compete with friends. Players receive greens fees and golf cart, lunch and tee gifts. Putting and Chipping games are available, as well as challenging games on course. An awards presentation and concluding celebration end a perfect day of golf at Loch Lloyd Country Club.

Golfers, sponsors, and volunteers are invited to enjoy a day of fun while helping others. For information contact Amy Newman at 816/508-3554 or amy.newman@gillis.org,or use the Contact Us! form.

Stories

Derik came to Gillis because he was having difficulty at his home school. He didn’t want to listen to anyone and didn’t want to play with the other kids; sometimes he would hit and kick. He was sent to the Principal’s office several times a week and his mom was called to pick him up from school often. He was diagnosed with a mood disorder. Gillis was recommended as a school which could help Derrick.
