ALL THINGS GOLF!

On Saturday, October 17, 2026, the Onyx family will come together once again—this time on the greens—for the Darele B. Campbell Memorial Charitable Golf Tournament at Historic Rogers Park Golf Course in Tampa.

This signature fundraising event supports the Onyx Ski & Sports Club Youth Development Foundation and our commitment to creating meaningful youth skiing, winter sports, travel, and personal development experiences.

Since 2019, the Foundation has introduced more than 150 youth in the Greater Tampa Bay area to the world of winter sports and new possibilities through skiing, travel, mentorship, and exposure to experiences beyond their everyday environment.

For some of these youth our program provides a first airplane ride, first glimpse of snow, and first opportunity to put on skis or a snowboard. But what happens on the mountain is about much more than learning a new sport. It is about building confidence, facing challenges, developing resilience, broadening horizons, and discovering that they are capable of accomplishing things they may have never imagined.

YOU Can Make a Difference

As Onyx members, we are asking everyone to make a commitment to supporting this year's tournament.

Whether you hit the links, make a donation, or simply spread the word, every contribution helps us move closer to our $30,000 fundraising goal.

Here are some ways you can help:

• Put Together a Foursome – Grab your friends, family, or colleagues and represent Onyx on the course.
• Sponsor a Tee Box – Put your business or name in the spotlight while supporting youth development.
• Support the 50/50 Raffle – Chip in for a chance to win while helping provide life-changing experiences for youth.
• Make a Donation – Every dollar helps provide transportation, winter clothing, equipment, instruction, lodging, meals, and mentorship.
• Spread the Word – Invite your friends, family, coworkers, and business contacts to join us or support the cause.

Our goal is to raise $30,000 to help more youth travel to the mountains, experience snow, learn to ski or snowboard, and discover new possibilities for their future.

When we ski together, travel together, and give together, we create opportunities that can last a lifetime.

Let's show what the Onyx family can accomplish when we come together!

Register. Sponsor. Donate. Share. Get involved.
