A Tee-rific Celebration at the 15th Annual Austin Carr Celebrity Golf Invitational
On Monday, July 14, Youth Opportunities Unlimited hosted the 15th Annual Austin Carr Celebrity Golf Invitational. Hosted at Quail Hollow Country Club, more than 200 guests, sponsors, celebrities, youth participants and staff enjoyed the special event in support of Y.O.U.’s mission.
The day began with an exclusive “Mr. Cavalier” Q&A session with Austin Carr — brought to you by Medical Mutual — hosted by Cleveland Cavs Radio legend Tim Alcorn and Black Girl Media Intern Maliq. Attendees heard insightful stories and advice from Austin’s impressive sports and broadcast career.
Though the early morning brought some rain, the sun was shining bright as the golfers headed out on the green. Among the course or cruising on carts were some of our youth participants, representing our various programs. The students were able to network, create content and give great insights on the impact of Y.O.U.
Along with some special putting contests, there were also great raffle and auction items to bid on, thanks to generous donations from local businesses.
The day concluded with a Post-Tournament celebration — brought to you by Lewis Brisbois — where the winners were announced during dinner.
In honor of 15 years of unwavering support and partnership, Y.O.U. presented Austin Carr with a commemorative plaque, recognizing his extraordinary contributions to our mission. In addition, Y.O.U. will be naming a dedicated space in our offices in his honor.
