2026 TLC GOLF CLASSIC

23rd Annual TLC Golf Classic Raises Over $110,000!

92 golfers came together for a day of competition, community, and impact in support of TLC. 

Thank you to everyone who made the 23rd Annual TLC Golf Classic an incredible success! 

On Sept. 14, 2026, 92 golfers joined TLC at Lonnie Poole Golf Course at NC State University for a day of golf, food, drinks, and friendly competition, all in support of children and adults living with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. 

Together, our golfers, sponsors, and supporters helped raise over $110,000, providing critical support for TLC's programs and services. 

For nearly 57 years, TLC has empowered individuals of all abilities to live their fullest lives. Funds raised through the Golf Classic help sustain programs that support people and families throughout different stages of life, including assessments and testing, therapies, and home-based supports; community homes and a day program; and care navigation and family support. 

We are incredibly grateful to every golfer, sponsor, volunteer, and community partner who helped make this year's tournament possible. Your impact extends far beyond one day on the golf course. It helps TLC continue creating opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to grow, connect, and thrive.
