On Monday, April 14, 2025, golfers gathered at Berkeley Hills Country Club for a day of friendly competition, community, and a shared mission of inclusion at the 4th Annual Green Hat Classic Golf Tournament, benefiting The Kyle Pease Foundation (KPF).
With sunny skies overhead and a contagious spirit of camaraderie, 150 golfers hit the course, proudly sporting their signature green visors in support of KPF’s mission to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities through sports. Throughout the day, players enjoyed a full slate of festivities, including a shotgun start, contests like longest drive and closest-to-the-pin, and inspiring appearances by KPF athletes and ambassadors who shared powerful stories of perseverance and community impact.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of sponsors, donors, and participants, the tournament raised more than $60,000 to directly support KPF programs — helping to provide adaptive sports equipment, cover race entry fees, and expand inclusive employment opportunities.
A heartfelt thank you to The Georgia Hemp Company and Sympleaf Sport CBD for hosting this year's Green Hat Classic, and to First Citizens Bank, our presenting sponsor. We are also grateful to all our event partners whose support ensures that more athletes of all abilities can find belonging, empowerment, and purpose through sport.
As the final putts dropped and awards were handed out, it was clear: the Green Hat Classic is more than a golf tournament — it’s a movement for inclusion in sports and beyond.
We can’t wait to see everyone back on the course next year!
