Thank you to all of the players, sponsors, volunteers and supporters for making our 2024 NKF National Capital Area Golf Classic "tee-rific"! On Monday, June 3, over 120+ of Washington DC and the National Capital Area's top business and community leaders convened on The Club at Creighton Farms in Aldie, VA for a competitive, yet fun, day of golf while supporting NKF's continued fight against kidney disease. With the support of all the attendees and our sponsors, we were able to raise over $120,000 for the National Kidney Foundation. On top of that, we are proud to announce that six teams qualified for the NKF National Finals at Pebble Beach in January 2025. Best of luck to our National Capital Area golfers!
Special thank you to our presenting sponsor Planet Fitness, as well as our other sponsors Andersen Tax, Carollo Engineering, Chick-Fil-A, Luxe Travelers Club, Rev'd Indoor Cycling and Valley Health for their support.
