2026 Golf Outing Success

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Safety for the Kids Golf Outing! We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to hit the course and support a great cause.

Funds raised through this annual event help GLSTC provide five scholarships each year, along with safety training, equipment, and personal protective equipment (PPE) for high school building trades students. Your support helps prepare the next generation to begin their careers with safety at the forefront.

We are especially grateful to our generous sponsors and donors whose contributions help make this event possible and support the continued success of the Safety for the Kids program.

Thank you again to everyone who golfed, sponsored, donated, and supported this year’s outing. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
