28^th Providence Open

Monday, July 21, 2025

Providence welcomed 172 golfers to the Providence Open at Olympia Fields. The course and weather provided the perfect setting for a day of golf, all in support of our Memory Care Programs.

As the golfers gathered, Bill De Young, CEO welcomed our Leadership Donors, Sponsors and their guests. Paul Buikema, our Board Chair, then opened the event with prayer. From there, the foursomes set out on both the North and South courses in a scramble format. The conditions and surroundings were beautiful!

We concluded the day by gathering for a social hour, where winners were announced, followed by dinner on the patio.

We are incredibly grateful to the donors, sponsors, and golfers who made the day so special. Their generous support and dedication to our mission and Memory Care Programs enriches the lives of our residents.
