9th Annual “Not All Heroes Wear Capes” Fundraiser PGA REACH Midwest proudly hosted its 9th Annual Not All Heroes Wear Capes golf fundraiser at Stone Canyon Golf Club, bringing together the community for a day of golf, gratitude, and giving back. With the support of 27 sponsors and 96 players, this year’s event raised money to benefit PGA HOPE Midwest. Proceeds from the tournament directly support the PGA HOPE program, which provides therapeutic and community-building opportunities for Veterans and Active Duty Military through the game of golf. The day was filled with friendly competition, camaraderie, and heartfelt appreciation for those who have served. A special thank-you goes to the Kansas City Area Toyota Dealers for their generous continued support and for displaying their patriotic Toyota trucks at the event, which was a highlight for many attendees. PGA REACH Midwest is grateful to all of our sponsors, players, and partners who make this event possible year after year. •••••• Midwest Tournament RecapThank you to all the players who competed in our 2025 tournaments!
