On June 10, 2026, Treesdale Golf & Country Club welcomed athletes, community leaders, sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and supporters from across the region for the 4th Annual Joey Porter Sr. & Joey Porter Jr. Celebrity Golf Classic.

Every dollar raised through the Celebrity Golf Classic helps strengthen these programs and ensures the Jasmine Nyree Campus can continue providing life-changing opportunities for the individuals and families it serves.
