2026 Birch Golf Classic Benefitting:

Key Works

(Formerly Key Recovery & Life Skills Center) - Funds go to help increase their capacity to support people by offering long term residential clinical treatment, work skills training and transitional housing. Residents learn life and work skills in job placement at their sister recycling company that pays minimum of 20% over minimum wage and provides on-the-job training in business and technical positions.

Whatcom / Skagit Detox via Pioneer Human Services 

Funds go to a new program created because of the Birch Golf Classic's ask, where staffing delivers post-detox patients to their next steps in recovery vs the former process of giving post-detox patients bus passes and/or cab fare. Our hope is that this program becomes a detox norm of continuation of care in the United States.

Thank you for the incredible support. The 12th Annual Golf Classic raised $377,918 bringing the 3 year total for Key Works and Whatcom & Skagit Detox to $1,066,185, bringing the Golf Classic's total contributions to organizations to-date to $2,728,979.
