Rutter’s Children’s Charities recently announced that its 23rd Annual Charity Golf Outing, held May 5-6, raised more than $1.1 million to benefit local charities.
Notably, the outing received an exciting boost with the presence of former professional football player Ed Reed and professional golfer Brandon Matthews, who made guest appearances. In recognition of their support, Rutter’s Children’s Charities donated $75,000 to the Ed Reed Foundation and $40,000 to the Scranton Area Foundation.
The prestigious Country Club of York, nestled in York, Pa., served as the venue for the event, drawing participation from over 125 vendors, suppliers and partners. The funds generated from this outing will play a pivotal role in bolstering Rutter’s Children’s Charities programs and initiatives throughout 2025.
“We are incredibly proud and deeply grateful to announce that this year’s charity golf outing raised an astounding $1.1 million to support causes across our communities,” said Suzanne Cramer, board president of Rutter’s Children’s Charities. “This remarkable achievement is a testament to the generosity of our vendors and sponsors”.
Since its inception in 2003, the annual two-day golf event has been a cornerstone of Rutter’s Children’s Charities’ philanthropic efforts. Over the past 23 years, this event has played a pivotal role in raising over $4.5 million to support local children’s charities across Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia.
In the previous year alone, the proceeds from Rutter’s Children’s Charities’ 2024 golf outing have made a significant impact. Contributions included $100,000 dedicated to the Rutter’s Secret Santa program and $50,000 earmarked for Local Youth Sports Leagues, among other worthy causes. All the funds raised are used to directly improve the lives of local children and families in need.
