“The Community Living Association for South Simcoe (CLASS) supports people with a developmental disability. CLASS is a non-profit, charitable organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. The agency was established in 1962 by a group of parents who wanted services in their own community for their children who had a diagnosis of a developmental disability.”

Thank You for Making Our 31st Annual CLASS Golf Tournament a Success!
The Community Living Association for South Simcoe (CLASS) is thrilled to share the success of our 31st Annual Charity Golf Tournament, held at Lebovic Golf Club.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our golfers, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and community partners, the tournament welcomed a sold-out field of 132 golfers and raised more than $80,000 to help create opportunities for people at CLASS to pursue their goals, build meaningful connections, and participate fully in community life.
The day was filled with great golf, beautiful weather, wonderful food, and a shared commitment to making a difference throughout our community. From our Lead Sponsor, New Phase Staffing Inc., to every sponsor, donor, volunteer, and participant, each contribution helped make this event a tremendous success.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Lebovic Golf Club for their outstanding hospitality and continued partnership in hosting this annual event.
Events like our Charity Golf Tournament play an important role in helping CLASS continue to foster personal journeys and build an inclusive community where everyone is valued and has the opportunity to thrive.
