GOLF OUTING
SUPPORT ST. JOHN'S BREADLINE
How to help
The St. John's Breadline of Springfield is an affiliate of Catholic Charities. It serves a hot, nutritious meal to the hungry men, women and children of Springfield in a clean and positive environment. Without these accessible meals, these men & women would spend too much time seeking food security rather than finding jobs, getting an education, or being an integral part of the community. The breadline serves over 200,000 meals per year
Your presence at the Esper Figueras Memorial Golf outing helps to support this worthy cause. We are approved as an official non-for-profit 501c3 organization by the IRS. Our last outing held on July 8th 2023 raised $7700 for the breadline!!

It was a perfect, hot summer day and the sun shone brightly all day long! Eighty golfers signed up for this year's outing.
