The 25th Annual KVC Health Systems Kids Classic Golf Tournament raised more than $160,000 to support children and families served by KVC Health Systems! Held on Monday, October 12, 2026, at Canyon Farms Golf Club in Lenexa, Kan., the milestone event brought together generous sponsors, community partners and golfers for a special day of golf and giving back.

This year, 28 teams representing 112 registered golfers joined us in celebrating 25 tournaments dedicated to making a difference for children and families.

We’re especially grateful to Howden, our Title Sponsor, and all the businesses and individuals whose generosity made this anniversary celebration possible!

25 Years of Golf, Generosity and Giving Back

For 25 years, the KVC Kids Classic has brought together people who share a commitment to helping children and families through some of life’s toughest challenges.

The tournament is about more than a day on the golf course. Every sponsorship, team registration and donation helps KVC continue our work to:

• Prevent child abuse and neglect by connecting children and families with the care and resources they need.
• Strengthen families through prevention services, parenting support and programs that help families stay safely together.
• Help children and adults achieve mental wellness through compassionate, high-quality mental health treatment.
• Help children learn, grow and thrive through specialized education and support services.

For children and teens struggling with depression, trauma or thoughts of suicide, access to quality mental health care can make all the difference. Your support helps KVC provide the treatment, resources and hope children and families need.
