The 11th Annual Birch Golf Classic is Just Around the Corner!
Thursday, September 4, 2025 | Bellingham Golf & Country Club
| | |
The Birch Golf Classic is a Pacific Northwest premier sell-out golf event, and it’s back for its 11th year! Founded, underwritten and run by Birch Equipment, this unique tournament brings together businesses and community to highlight community leaders and raise funds for non-profit organizations who are giving a hand up in the Pacific Northwest.
Recipient organizations are selected for a 3-year consecutive window based on their helping to connect our most vulnerable to better pathways. Regional community Trailblazers are also highlighted for making a difference in our communities. To date $2.4 Million Dollars has been raised and donated to these organizations. (View past recipients). This year's recipient organizations are Key Recovery & Whatcom/Skagit Detox.
| | Key Recovery is using funds from The Birch Golf Classic to increase their capacity to patients through rehabilitation and learning life and work skills. | | Sarah Rothenbuhler asked that Birch Golf Classic funds help post-detox patients access further treatment and be escorted to their next steps—connecting people to better pathways. The goal is for this to become the norm across all detox facilities. | | Check Out Highlights of the 2024 Golf Classic! | | |
How to help us raise funds for Key Recovery & Life Skills Center and Skagit & Whatcom Detox you ask 😊?
Please donate today! We at Birch underwrite the entire tournament and 100% of all funds donated and spent by teams go to our recipient organizations.
Team fundraising ends Wednesday, August 27th at 2pm sharp! Immediately following fundraising, at 2:05pm on August 27th, Team Captains will be contacted in order of funds raised for their Team's Trailblazer + Prize Selection.

| | Lloyd Ludtke – Deming Log Show’s Honorary Winner of Bull of the Woods | | |
Lloyd Ludtke is a true pillar of the Deming logging community and the embodiment of the “Bull of the Woods” spirit—a term honoring those known for their hard work, toughness, and dedication to the land and industry. Born in 1937 near Deming, Lloyd’s lifelong dedication to logging began as a young boy working alongside his family. Over the decades, he built a respected career in logging trucking and leadership, including serving twice as president of the Washington Dump Truck Association. He also led the family business, Ludtke Pacific Trucking, helping grow it into a cornerstone of the region's logging and hauling industry. As loyal supporter of the Deming Log Show since its start in 1963, Lloyd has helped sustain this cherished community event through his leadership and sponsorship.
Lloyd’s story highlights the dedication and values that built our community. It’s a reminder of why we’re proud to be part of this place and to honor those who shaped it.
