Golf for Ag: Funding Youth Futures | Colorado Springs News

Twenty-eight teams tee off this Friday at Walking Stick Golf Course in Pueblo for the Partners of Youth in Ag Golf Tournament — a wildly successful annual fundraiser that’s raised nearly $300,000 over ten years to upgrade Colorado State Fair facilities and support 4-H and FFA scholarships. Started by former state Senate President Leroy Garcia and community leader Vince Guerrero in 2015 with a simple goal of bringing people together for youth ag development, the event has grown into a major community powerhouse, drawing thousands and proving what happens when a town rallies behind its next generation of farmers and leaders. After golf, players head to the fair for a legislative barbecue — the perfect way to end a day of fun, fundraising, and farm-to-table fellowship.
